Here we are in Virginia, first stop on our trip. The UVa flag is for Miriam and Alice who are both students there. |
We drove all day yesterday. This morning we started with a walk around Evelyn’s neighborhood, where I loved the decorated mailboxes. |
Summer flowers and busy bees. |
And one great grasshopper from home, before we left. |

Hello,
The flag and painted mailboxes are cute. Safe travels, enjoy your day!
Back in the days when I worked in publishing I visited George Mason a couple of times, which is in Fairfax. Never really spent much time looking around town, though. So I'm digging your pictures. Looks like a fun place. Thanks!
If you're in Fairfax, you're with family. Have fun!
And so the next great adventure of Mae and Len begins. Loved seeing those very well done mail boxes. I've got grasshoppers in my yard and garden, too.
These are quite pretty mail boxes. Unfortunately on my road in Georgia vandals keep striking my mailbox, it’s almost broken. July went by quite fast as usual while watching the Tour de France live on TV. I see that you wrote 26 posts in July – bravo. I can hardly write one a month now. I’ll go back and read yours, they are always so interesting.
Hooray for roadtrips and vacation time; you saw some fun things on your morning walk!
Have a great trip Mae.
Love the mail boxes. Have a lovely visit!
Love those mailboxes! So cute!
I saw my first grasshopper on the patio yesterday. He's probably hiding away in the coleus right now lol
I've never been somewhere where the mailboxes are decorated like that, but it would add so much to the street view :)
Nice idea to paint mailboxes. I have the exact same hybrid hibiscus.
Hello Mae,
I hope you are enjoying your trip! Love the photos, the cow flag is cute.
The painted mailboxes are cute! I hope the grasshopper is not eating your plants. Safe travels. Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Take care, have a great weekend. PS, thank you for leaving me a comment.
Hello. Beautiful mailboxes. Have a nice weekend.
It's fun to see unique things when you travel! Enjoy your trip and safe travels!
I bravely painted my mailbox a few years ago, and, hey, it's not bad. I love seeing street art---murals or even fire hydrants or mailboxes---wherever I go.
I hope you have a lovely trip, Mae.
Have a great trip! Love the photos from your garden.
I love the decorated mailboxes! Enjoy your trip!
I have friends near Fairfax, VA, I love that area! Have a great time!
Such a beautiful area... enjoy your trip!
