The Elk Lake mailbox recieves mail every other day. The mailman makes a long drive in his pickup, that doesn't resemble any mail car I've ever seen, every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. I had an important piece of mail that needed to go out, so Lerrina let me take an ATV and speed out there, out there meaning 5 miles out there.
What a gorgeous drive too! I had to make sure the mail got to the mailman and wasn't left overnight, so I waited for him to come. I've never waited by the mailbox before. It was always associated with years gone by, don't know why, but I have. So I waited, and the wind blew, and all was quiet except for the waves of wind flowing through this beautiful valley. A few folks drove by, four in ATVs and a pickup or two. It's always such a question of what to do: look at the people? wave? look busy on my phone? Relating with people while just sitting by the road is not without it's questions.
He finally came and I got my stuff sent out. On my way back I was looking around so much I almost ran into an ATV full of people. I looked just in time to see them sidehilling up the gravel bank on the side of the road. Wew! Missed! Thanks to them. Yes, pardon me, crazy woman driver here!

Oh so pretty! This morning as I got back from my jog (I won't tell you how long it was because "jog" can sound so athletic until the distance part is revealed) I just stood a minute looking out the window at the sunny porch. How I love to just look at it.

Hello AnnaBelle,
ReplyDeleteI so enjoyed your "trip to the mailbox" & picture, & how peaceful it sounds way out there. I relate to what do you do when you see someone - look or not at them? look busy? greet them? I guess it depends on the people ... Have a wonderful day! LvABv
Glad you enjoyed it, ABJ =)Thanks for commenting. Good to hear from you! Hope all is well there and your summer is going well. You probably have loads of fresh berries around there now.
