The terracotta pot tipped forward and dumped dry soil across the patio stones. Three leggy petunias clung to the rim while their roots baked in the afternoon sun. You bought the right flowers and watered them…
The brush catches the rough rim. A thick streak of cobalt blue slides down the curved side and pools on the patio stone. You freeze. You grab a paper towel. You smear it worse. Then you…
