Post Posting

This past weekend we had our biggest snow of the winter so far. While the Twin Cities got a foot or more, out here it was only about 6 to 8 inches or so. Sunday afternoon, looking out toward the road, neither of us could see our mailbox. The post was there, the plastic newspaper-holder deals were there, but no mailbox. On investigating, I found it in the ditch, covered with the weekend's snow. Not snowplowed snow, just a gentle blanket of fallen snow covered it. I dug it out and found no dents or damage of any kind, other than the broken plastic bracket that had held it to the wooden post.
Odd.
I bought a new bracket (which fit no better than the previous one), but at least it's up for now. A spring project in the offing, designing and attaching a more secure mounting. Work for warm fingers.
