A mailbox recovered

Saturday afternoon, when we were returning from the local big box store with our mailbox materials we drove up and down the street again looking for the old box. It was just unbelievable to us that someone would have made off with it. Kristi suggested looking in the creek that borders our property so we stopped to look around. How about that? There was our mailbox in the creek. There were also two old batteries, a sign and a bunch of junk and litter. Another bit of work makes the todo list. Cleaning up the creek. I had best get some waders and I'll drag Kristi's canoe behind me to use as my waterborne wheelbarrow. Oddly there is only one gate from our property into the creek even though we own halfway through it. Since it's a steep bank at that point it may be easier just to access the creek from the road. One of these days I'll put in a gate to make the creek more accessible. There's not really anything that we'd do with the creek but it does need to have the litter picked up periodically.
