One day, I think it might have been a Tuesday trash day night, Emmy and I had just Taken Sarah to youth group and we were on the way home and decided to take a short detour through a subdivision in our area. There were lots of things out that night for trash but we found an old mailbox still connected to the post. Numbers and all. She stopped and I jumped out (she likes to be the driver so she can hide behind tinted glass) and put it in the van. It has been out behind the barn until last night. Mark and I cut down a bunch of old pines and we for some reason saved one trunk. Now inside the mailbox is stored some garden tools and gloves in the raised vegetable bed area of the yard. Luke likes to have the red flag up because there is something inside. When I forget to put things back in I am supposed to put the flag down. The other treasures in this photograph are awesome finds too. The two screen doors, Betsy and Dewey found them for us. The are the actual screen doors from SEM. Hopefully by the end of the summer some black eyed Susan vine will cover it. And the chair we found in a barn at Serendipity in Waterford, WI. I love that place...almost as much as Tater Ridge. Barns for of old junk. And the couple that run it are hippies from way back. I sometimes take the time to sit int he chair and just look at all the work we still have to do in the yard and dream of new things to do...just making the To Do List a little longer.

I can imagine that you are cracking up...thinking 'are these people crazy!' You won't be the first to think that. Let us know what you thought was a really cool idea...and maybe share some of your own ideas...where do you think we come up with all this cool stuff?
