Around 1:30pm I checked our mailbox. It was still pretty early for our mail to have been delivered, but I thought I'd check.
No mail, yet there were footprints in the snow through our yard. That is a sure sign that the mailman has been here. I had a couple of cards to put out, but since I missed the mailman, they can wait until tomorrow.
It's the rare occasion when we don't get mail, but it does happen. But not often.
Later, I went across the street to deliver a thank-you card to our neighbors. They watched the house, fed the cats and brought in the mail while we were gone last week. I also needed to get the house key back!
When I left, I noticed a second set of footprints in the snow.
Our mailbox was overflowing!
We had at least a dozen pieces of mail.
I think I mistook the first set of footprints as the mailman's when it must have been the meter-reader.
Oh well, the outgoing mail will still wait until tomorrow.
