This is my post for #freewriters 2664 prompt over the ridge hosted by @mariannewest
I bought this truck even though I have to sit on a pillow to see over the steering wheel, and I can not see out the back window because the headrest is too high and a huge hole in the floor, and my cup does not fit the cup holder, but like the hole in the floor, the seat too low and the headrest too high, I fixed it. So now I think this will be a good truck.
We were looking for a piece of thin walled PVC but did not have the right size to fit my cup. I am not sure what this green thing is or where it came from but it looked like it would work.
I had my husband measure and saw it off, I put it in the cup holder and my cup fit down in it. It works great.
This is my only desert rose with white flowers, it is over 12 years old. I am going to cut it back but by the looks of it, I thought it was best to repot it first. The base of it is in sad shape from staying too wet in the past. I found where some of the roots had started to rot so it was a good thing I did this now.
It was a struggle for me to get it out of the pot but I succeeded. I washed all of the soil away with the garden hose then I cut off all of the roots that would be over the ridge of the pot.
At Home Depot I bought bags of playground sand and a couple of bags of potting soil, I am mixing it three to one, three shovels of sand to one shovel of potting soil. It makes a heavy pot but should have good drainage. It looks a lot happier not.
