AUSTRALIA ~ The Antipodes

AUSTRALIA ~ The Antipodes
I love a sunburnt country / A land of sweeping plains / Of ragged mountain ranges / Of droughts and flooding rains / I love her far horizons / I love her jewel-sea / Her beauty and her terror / The wide brown land for me / ~ Dorothea Mackellar (1885-1968)

Sweet butterfly dreams to you!

The vintage mailboxes make a great graphic. It's neat to see the mailbox stamp.

I love the way you've paired the mailboxes with the theme of renewal. It makes me wish that some good old fashioned handwritten letters were emerging from them. Those are my sweet butterfly dreams. :)

Thanks so much for stopping by my blog and leaving a comment. It's nice to (virtually) meet you.

Those old green mailboxes would be worth a pretty penny in my neck of the woods...the antique world anyway. The color and the style, with the wrought iron stand, make them unique.

So many of our unique old boxes have been replaced by more modern fixtures, because of the camplaints of modern mail carriers and their perfectionisms, I'm surprised that they don't request air-conditioning for them.

Some day maybe their jobs will be more valuable and the complaints will cease, due to people that are just happy to have a job...such is our world today...bummer!

Have a happy day friend...we're expecting a nasty winter ice/snow storm...pray that the power stays on...oh what to do without the internet...s
