Views of the Neighborhood – Mailbox Toppers.

~ John W. Howell
Today we were supposed to go to a charity walk/run, but unfortunately, due to the weather, it was canceled. So instead, we are going to visit some mailbox toppers. Some are old friends with changes, and some are new to us. We are being catered by Cavalier in Austin. Our entertainment is The Rolling Stones. (Yes, Mick owes me one.)

Full bar and beverage service.
Picture of an old time school bus
Hop on the bus, and let’s go.

Our first stop is an armadillo we have seen before. He has a new sombrero and looks very distinguished.

Here is a new one. I call it the Hangover.

Let sleeping dogs lie. (The truth is overrated)

How about a flying pig or at least a pig with wings.

A blue turtle.

A naked armadillo.

Bluebird of happiness.

Siesta time.

The fox who had ice running off his nose last time now sports a plaid ribbon.

Here’s Bevo, the mascot of the University of Texas, in a different pose. I think the owner is upset at UT’s loss to Baylor that kept them out of this year’s Championship game (Which Baylor won against Oklahoma State.)

So relax and enjoy the food and music. I hope you have a great week.

  4. One day I’d like to hear how Mick owed you one!
    I chomped on the shrimp and grits while we took our ride. I like the idea of ‘when pigs fly’ but I think he needs a paint job. But they’re all cute.

  7. I laughed at the armadillos. When I lived in Branson, people blamed the growing armadillo population on Texas. They are curious animals for sure. Thanks for the walk-bys and the breakfast enticements. Hope all is perfect in your world. 😊

  9. You gotta love Mick Jagger. Still great after all these years, too. I still love the armadillo and sleeping dog. Nice post and great spirit in your ‘hood. Oh, give me the French toast with hot maple syrup (just like Cracker Barrel does)…

  10. Poor Bevo. I don’t follow college sports much, and I really don’t have a thing against UT, but I confess I grinned a little when I heard that final score.

  18. These mailbox toppers are always entertaining, but your comments are what make the post! I like the bluebird of happiness and the fox. That hangover one is definitely a statement topper. Thanks for sharing!

  19. I love the armadillo in the hat. I wish we had mailboxes here so I could decorate, But we have a wall of mailboxes and anything on a single mailbox would probably be stolen. Boo.
    For a yummy breakfast, I will have a biscuit without gravy, but with avocado and an egg!

  29. I love the fox in her plaid bow!And the armadillo in his sombrero. But I thought the politically correct folks had done away with the “siesta man”! Great tour, John.
