At the garden stall, Alex chose a blue flowerpot with a wide round rim. He pictured it on his kitchen windowsill, full of green leaves. Lin held his tote while he paid. The empty pot was already quite heavy.

On the way home, he carried it against his chest. At each corner, he stopped to change his grip. “Next time,” he said, “I’m buying something with handles.” Lin moved ahead to open the front door.

In the kitchen, Alex held the pot beside the windowsill. Its base was wider than the shelf. He turned it, although the base was round. Then he lowered it safely onto the floor. Lin found a tape measure.

They measured the sill, then the pot. The numbers settled the question. Alex cleared a space beside the sunny window and put a waterproof tray on the floor. The pot fitted there perfectly. Now he needed a plant big enough to suit it.
