Part of the outdoor landscape includes hardscaping like stones and patios and things like that. But, it also includes your Mailbox. Now, here in Wisconsin, our mail boxes take a licking. Every winter, the snowplows come out and leave a battlefield of Mailbox carnage in their wake. Many homeowners take this opportunity to upgrade their formerly erect pillars of correspondence receptacles. And there are many options!

Oh my are those ever cute. I'm sure my hubby, a letter carrier would love to see some variety.
After all the snow we had this past winter, a post office box sounds like the way to go...
I've never had a mailbox with character to it. I have a boring one! Those are kinda neat.
I love the last one! Very fancy.
i wish i had a fancy mailbox. one day =D
I love fancy mailboxes, but we don't have one!! We live in an apartment complex, so we have the standard multi boxes outside. My last house had a door slot and the one before that had a neighborhood metal multibox, so I've NEVER had a cute mailbox! It makes me a little sad! LOL!
LOL @ the P.O. boxes!
Actually, I wish we had mailboxes to even think of options. We have to go down the street to get our mail.
Ours just looks like trashy people live here - kinda falling over and nasty. Oh well!
