New postbox on our Fence & Birds

Linking this post to "Good Fences", "Saturday's critters" & "id-rather-b-birdin’ "

*The box in the picture below is not bird's nest but "postbox" p;)*    
My husband had been thinking about the trouble of the paper-man and the post-man had. They needed to get into the small fence to put papers and mails.
He made new postbox on the fence to avoid their trouble. It was made by just wood scrap & waste material he had (haha, not so fancy one). It is supported from the back. The ones we looked for at the DIY-store were all small-sized for the English journal I'm subscribing. It has a wider size so that it won't get wet with rain.

Here is our very tiny, simple fence with Red Robin (we call it 'akamegashi' ).
This picture was taken last year, my husband was trimming the tree.

*These pictures were taken at our city park from the last visit*
Loved the way these ducks looking at me :-)
As we don't have a child and grands, it's been decades since I went to see the small animal's section last time. Only limited kinds, but I was glad to see the flamingos for the first time. Sorry for the bad quality of the picture (taken through the cage).

Thank you very much for stopping by; I'll try visiting you from tomorrow. (Japan time)

  6. The postman will certainly appreciate an easy access to a new mailbox. In our neighborhood where I live in the US we don't have our own in front of our house. Those flamingos are lovely.

  9. It's a beautiful paper/mail box and your home and gateway flowers are lovely. It was fun visiting the park with you as well. The flamingos are wonderful even if you are not a child. I'd love to see them.

  10. Hi Miyako san. You and your husband are so sweet to set new postbox for paper-man and post-man to reduce their trouble! And your husband is so talented. I don't think I've seen wooden postbox. It looks unique, simple and very elegant!
    Wow, it was your first time to see flamingos. Glad you enjoyed :-)

    Have a great day, Miyako san!

  14. Isn't it nice to have such a handy husband? I like the new post box and he does a great job on that attractive hedge.

  15. Your husband is a very handy man, clever with his hands.
    I saw flamingoes when I was in Japan and found them quite fascinating. We don't have them here in New Zealand but we do have the Mallard ducks.
    Best wishes,

    Diana

  16. Dearest Miyako,
    Your husband deserves a compliment for his great woodworking skills! That is very kind for making mail delivery easier for the mail man.
    Your gate is a nice one too and I loved the photo where your husband is trimming the hedge.
    Lovely photos from the ducks and flamingos.
    Hugs,
    Mariette

  21. How thoughtful to make a new mail box to help out the mailman. I didn't visit the zoo last year, but I hope to visit this year.

  22. you found a solution for your post-box; well done! I enjoyed reading your post Miyako, and the flamingos would've been so lovely to see. It would be amazing too, to see them in the wild would'n't it?
