To Wash, or Not to Wash

Cool blues and warm yellows, a combination that only works in nature.

You know the routine. The vehicles are dirty, the weather is nice, you have a certain amount of pride, so you wash them .... both of them. The hose gets tangled, your hands get dirty and ice cold, you kick over the soapy bucket of water, and you almost slice your finger on the licence plate. You dry them off, you stand back and admire your work, touch up the spots you missed and then put everything away. Then you winterize the outdoor taps because with the heavy frost coming, you do not need a frozen faucet.
And then, you drive your vehicle one time, park it, and it begins to rain. It will be nice to know that tomorrow as I am commuting to work in the rain, that I will have the cleanest truck on the road. It is but a fleeting moment in time. As usual.
