I Spritz The Plants In The Post Office Every Day
Author: siggyI spritz the Boston fern in the post office almost every day. And the Norfolk pine. It is a conversation opener. Last year the two Boston ferns were not doing well. Then I started misting them both every day.
I had a running conversation with the clerk who has a dour disposition whether the two plants were going to make it. It broke the ice. We gradually became friends. Now I say “Hello” to him every time I am in the post office. And we usually exchange a few words.
I continue to mist the plants. Sometimes I threaten to spray the postmaster. She runs in the opposite direction when I point the mister towards her. Or just laughs at me. She knows I am not serious. It is just a little game we play.
Other customers smile when they see me in the post office spraying the plants. It is a great conversation opener.
