THEME DAY--Mailboxes

This is the C.S. Wilke house in Seattle's Queen Anne neighborhood. It dates from 1898. I love it.

I'll bet the mailman brought the mail directly to their door once-upon-a-time, and didn't place it in the black mailbox to the left of the gate.

I'm still in Seattle for a family issue, which I'm only now beginning to see progress in. So sorry I can't visit you all regularly for the moment. I won't forget you!

What a beautiful house. Can just see people sitting out on this porch putting the world to rights. Glad to hear that progress is being made, Bibi.

Your photo is so yummy, I wish I could spoon it out and spread it on my toast. Great capture, as usual!

What a beautiful old house—and I love that fence. I have "country cousins" who have to go about half a mile to get to their mailbox!
