The Lonely Mailbox

Why do entrances get all the glory?  Or at least the Annual flowers and landscaping lighting?  Mailboxes are pitifully neglected, and yet the mailbox is the one place that a homeowner is most likely to stop before driving into the garage and closing the shades.

I am of the opinion that mailboxes should be glamorized and adorned with  some landscaping and annuals.  A concerted effort should be made to prevent rust or other stains, and the paint fresh.  Putting makeup on this previous blemish might just brighten up the remainder of a homeowner’s day.
