While trapped in the house because of the smoke your mind wanders, sometimes a good thing, usually not.
I have been picking up fall and halloween colored stuff at the dollar store and garage sales.
Today I was in the cupboard and REDISCOVERED a coffee grinder that I have been carrying around
for at least two moves. The mind clicked into gear and I started thinking "ground cover". I started
searching for all my purchases.
A bag of silky fake leaves turned into orange fluff. Possibly useable. Some orange shredded paper
became some nicely ground orange bits. Again possibly useable. A little green blob of something fuzzy
was a total failure, styrofoam inside. My best hope was some dried spanish moss from the dollar
store, right color, right texture, dismal failure. Clogged the grinder and burned it up. I am hoping
the grinder has a thermal switch and will work again. Not a total failure over all, I think I
have one more grinder and loads more junk scenery stuff.
Have a great day. John
