We've got mail!

Last fall we decided to install a split rail fence at the end of the driveway and this spring we added a second section. With the nice new fence in place, the old mailbox was starting to look a little shabby, so we decided to upgrade.
We selected a sturdy wooden post with a decorative knob to replace the plastic base, and we chose a simple black mailbox to match the soon-to-be-installed driveway lights.
The newly installed mailbox is a huge improvement over the original. It even has a flag, so we can leave outgoing mail for the postman.
Next step: planning for the mailbox landscaping!

Fancy Schmancy! I think you should get a giant OSU flag too :) Or a Browns one!

Very smart indeed. Maybe the flag should say 'Please bring mail to up the hill, we are on the deck.'
