Country mailbox
Whoever ploughs this road is a conscientious driver! Many mailboxes are ploughed down during the winter months, but you can see here that the plough driver actually drove around this one.
Hmm, I took this photo last year. I should check to see if the same mailbox is still there. I say this because I noticed a few days ago on another road that two speed limit signs have recently been ploughed down. (In protest???)
Country fence behind the mailbox
I saw a list of fill-ins on Rose's blog and have decided to fill in the blanks of the first 5 here:
1. If I were a month I’d be May when the world looks so new and green and full of promise.
2. If I were a day I’d be Tuesday because “Tuesday’s child is full of grace” ... and I’m not!
3. If I were a time of day I’d be when dawn breaks, the most beautiful time of most days.
4. If I were a font I’d be Verdana as it’s clean, straight forward and easy to read. On days I’m feeling fancy I’d be Papyrus (which is what I use to write “Tina’s Lens” on my favourite photos.)
5. If I were a planet I’d be Earth. We live on a gorgeous planet and I love photographing what I see here.
I am linking to Good Fences HERE.

Love all your answers and I too use Verdane for the same reason and I wish some bloggers would take the hint as some of the types are font are not easy to make out on a mini IPad. I use a different one for my Sunday post, can't remember what it is but I make it large enough for all to see the script. Love the 2 shots today and it would be interesting to see if the mail box is still standing.
I really do miss a few days each year like this! Although weeks on end may push the friendship a bit!

Don't get me started on the font subject :) Great images!!

Lovin' the fencing today.
Great fence shots! I can not count how times our mailbox has been plowed over. I love your answers to the fill in game. Have a happy day!
The snow on the fence makes a pretty picture. I like your mail box too, and hope it stays in place!:)
I cannot see my mailbox either:) I would be earth too:) Hug B
oh yes those delightful snow plows on country roads.........I do not miss them and having my mail box at the end of the driveway!!!
As always lovely photos and interesting answers to the questions.....
I collect mailboxes pictures on my other blog ! I hope this one is still there .
Dearest EG; Beautiful fence pictures with snow☃ Feel sorry for the mail box; most of ours in Japan are on the wall. But mail men have to get inside the property :-)
Sending Lots of Love and Hugs from Japan to my Dear friend, xoxo Miyako*
I would not like to trudge out to that mailbox. Enjoyed reading your 5 things.

Y'know, I never tire of the way you elevate the 'ordinary' to the extraordinary... and you worked your magic again today!
That was interesting Tina, the expression 'the mail must always get through' can't apply in this weather with so many mailboxes going down?
Beautiful photos, as usual. It was fun to read your answers to Rose's 5 questions. I would answer the same way for questions 1, 3 & 5; have to think about 2 & 4.
Beautiful pictures of snowy fences!
And I like your answers, too :))
Have a fine day

beautiful fence, let us know if that mail box is still standing. i am with you on number 3, dawn is my most favorite time of the day and the time when i feel the best. i also love our earth
The top photo in particular has a retro or nostalgic feel to it: not just the subject but something about the look.
I'm loving your fence photos, even tho I'm so wishing for spring to hurry up and get here, I still love winter scenes. I enjoyed reading your answers.
I like your answers and your photos. Looks very cold there. I am waiting for spring! Have a nice day!
That is a whole lot of snow!
Beautiful fence...we had a split rail around our property at the old house and we loved it.
Your answers are priceless...I think I would be May too, as I love the garden in May because it begins to grow in earnest.
Beautiful shots, EG.
I think maybe I should have chosen Tuesday, since reading your post. Full of grace is something I am not. April would be the month that would compete with October/fall for me. It is starting to get hot here in May and the new green is starting to be everyday green.
Nice captures of the snow-covered fence.
love the snow scenes! yeah, i'm wondering if the mailbox made it to another season. :) nice answers - laughed at #2. :)
I enjoyed reading your "if" reflections.
Our mailbox is on the road. I've often wondered how it stays standing and then I think perhaps it's because it stands among others.
Beautiful fence in the snow shots!
It's a beautiful country scene, and I hope the mailbox is still standing. I love your answers - I would be dawn as well. Mornings are my favorite time of the day. As a month I would be October - it's the most beautiful month where I live and just love earthy colors. And do I love our planet!!! If we only took better care of it.
It is funny how something can be in front of your face for years and go unnoticed. The font you mention is fantastic and on my list but I have not clicked on it as far as I remember until you mentioned it.
I think it is amazing there are not a lot more mishaps when the snow is so high and the people who use the plows can only guess at what is covered.
Well,
This is just a lovely fence!
oh that is a beautiful fence, even better blanketed with snow!!
i would be daybreak also, the part of the day i often miss but it is my favorite as well!!!!!
I was wondering how or even if the mail was delivered what with all those blizzards back east.
A delightful post for the day!! Interesting fence and I do love your answers to the fill in the blanks!! Hope your week is going well! Stay warm!!
Well here in the UK we don't normally have the problem of snow ploughs flattening road signs and the like. The snow here rarely gets to those heights.
Must admit I'd never thought of such a problem.

My son replaces his mailbox post almost every spring!
Love the split rail fence -- we put reflectors on our mailbox to prevent drive-bys. :)
Nice fences. Where I live if the snow is to deep for mailman. He will pass by. When he has to go into people places off the road.
Besides your fence pix, I like that you chose to be Earth!...:)JP
Love the fences and the snow!
Good post, EG!
Nice photos! Here in Germany I#ve never seen ssuch mailboxes near by the streeet, but I can inagine that problem...
Okay, maybe I should think about the fond on my blog?
I would definitely be earth. Let's leave the rest of the universe alone, we're doing enough damage here as it is! I would never have noticed that the plough had gone around the mailbox if you hadn't pointed it out!
Beautiful and timeless photos. I agree with many of your answers on the list!
July, because it's my month,
Thursday cause I'm looking towards Heidi Klum,
Dead of night... I'm alone,
Cursive is me
One that's undiscovered,
lurking over my shoulder.
I liked your sentences at the end of your post, especially the last. Earth is a pretty spectacular place to live.
Great answers and wonderful image.
I love the fences in the snow and the mailbox. Mailboxes do take a beating in the winter months. I enjoyed the answers to your 5 questions.
Mail deliveries aside, I love the second picture with just the fence and the snow. Neat answers as well...
Yay for that careful driver... doesn't take much to put that little bit extra into a job. How considerate :D)
Love your list too, well said.
Beautiful pics of that snow capped fence :D)
I'm quite envious of this scene, I'd like snow, just one day. It's so picturesque I agree dawn breaking is a magical time, especially with a camera
Snow can hide much...Nice plowman to avoid the post box

The fence and mailbox look so pretty in the snow.
Gorgeous snowy fence!!
Pretty scenes, E.G.!

Wonderful wintry photos, even if I'm ready for spring! We have the same problem around here, thank goodness our mailbox (so far as yet) hasn't been hit in years. But it happens all the time. It helps when we go out and shovel around our own boxes but even then the big plow trucks are moving so fast! Lookout!
Beautiful images and great answers!
It doesn't take snow to get mailboxes plowed down! Ours was taken out by a lawn mower - not a hint of snow or ice.
I love that first shot.
Fences and snow make a great combo!
Nice fence shot, Tina.
The closest to snow plow around our home are the recycle truck and the trash truck; which sometimes topples the Recycle Bin and vice versa.
Have a Beautiful Day!
Peace :)
Nice and snowy!
Beautiful pictures,
The fence is beautiful, and the mailbox.
Have a happy day.
Nice winter observation. Unheard of here in the netherlands.
Glad there are conscious worker to work with concern! Nice filling up
Great captures on the snowy fences.
I like your fill-ins. Very nice.

Beautiful photos! I saw the list on Rose's blog too and hadn't thought to break it up into fives...that may be my next Willy Nilly posts! :-)
I soooooo love this photo.
That mailbox would not last long in most New England towns. If the snowplows didn't get it, then carloads of drunken teenagers would.
I like Verdana for many purposes, but Georgia is my go to font (I like serifs and Georgia is a non-stuffy font with serifs).
