Senior Moments: When your mail carrier delivers more than just the bills

I happened to look out the window today as my mail carrier Sonya was leaving after delivering my mail, which she had placed neatly in the box and closed.

She stopped to pick up two advertising flyers from off the ground that had been pushed through the gate, and then she took care to close the gate, something delivery people often neglect.

I like having the gate closed. It’s like tying a bow on a package. It completes the ambiance.

I also have a theory that a closed gate might discourage coyotes.
