It is a good idea to remember to have your house number visible in case of an emergency. Many times shrubs and trees obscure the numbers on houses and mailboxes.
And speaking of mailboxes, keep the safety of our letter carriers in mind and make sure to clear vegetation and bees nests from your mailbox.
