It was a sunny day in winter, which is rare and hard to come by. I was parked in a grocery store lot and bracing myself for the walk into the store when I looked to my right and noticed at eye level this light blue Jeep Cherokee. It was in impressive condition given its age. This was an original Jeep Cherokee, before the Laredo model and certainly before Jeep called anything “Grand”.
Across the door where a newer model would have a thick plastic moulding, was clear evidence of where this Jeep had been. It was clearly playing in fresh snow earlier, and after the clean snow made its mark the street snow had a chance to add some brown and grey layers.
It was beautiful, and just what I needed to fill my cup.
