Since most of the U.S. population is classified as urban these days, the question of "What's that box at the end of your driveway?" might seem a legitimate inquiry. For those of us on rural routes who know that RFD means "rural free delivery" the mailbox is an important fixture in our daily lives.
Here's the mailbox at Graywood Farm. Surrounded by Ed's red geraniums, the mailbox looks like it needs a coat of gray paint. For the uninitiated, the flag in the raised position means that there is mail inside the box, ready for the mailperson to pick up.
