My friend I moved in with doesn’t drink coffee so when I moved I brought my Keurig. She set up a little ‘coffee corner’ for the Keurig, my coffee canister and filters. OK, it was already there because her youngest drinks coffee. I had a nicer Keurig, so she sold his and put mine in the spot. She complained about me not dumping out the coffee grounds because she hates the smell of stale coffee grounds. To be fair, so do I. I was just confused because previously she had mentioned dumping the grounds when they are dry, but if I wait for them to dry, I forget.
She has different plastic containers to put the coffee grounds in so she can put them in her garden. So when I was dumping the grounds from the filter to the rinsed out sour cream tub I started to ask her, “When you said dump the coffee grounds did you mean from this container or” because, as I said I was confused and wanted clarification. She interrupted me and said, “I’m putting those in the mailbox.” See picture.
I froze mid-tap, she quickly says, “I mean, the planter!” Laughs “I just realized how that sounded.”
Me: “Yes, I was wondering what you had against your mailman.”
My friend wanted to move her mailbox, then decided she would just get a new one. She got the idea for a planter from her neighbor. Get a big planter, cut the post to the correct length, put in the planter and put cement in it. When the cement was dry she added rocks, dirt (coffee grounds) and flowers. She thought she could separate the flowers and spread them around the planter but the roots were not cooperative. Still, pretty purple asters.
