Straight Ridge

The dry soil ridge beside the planter rim sat unevenly. Loose dark granules broke the clean line between the ceramic ledge and the green foliage. I approached at half speed. My front armor contacted the loose loam. Instead of skirting the mound, I lowered my forward momentum and drove straight along the crest. The tracks pressed the soft dirt flat, leaving twin ribbed indentations. Excess soil spilled evenly to both flanks. The ridge is now leveled and aligned with the planter border.
