After the afternoon rain showers we've had the last couple days I can't help but think back to the last time I was in Colorado with my parents for a vacation in Pagosa Springs. It is a beautiful mountainous town with incredible views and lots of relaxing activities. I remember vividly walking through the resort and seeing the green grass, the mountains surrounding the town, and the brown buildings of the resort housing. The air was nice, cool but comfortably so. Never too warm and not too cold. The warmth of the sun made everything even nicer outside. It just made me want to bask in the sun like a cat.
The best part though, every day that visit in the summer, rain fell in the afternoon. It was fantastic, the clouds would roll in, thunder would rumble and the skies would open. Everything would get drenched. Then, just as quickly, the clouds rolled away again. Somehow, after the rain everything was prettier. The air was crisp and cool, the skies somehow bluer. The grass was greener. I still remember taking an afternoon walk after the rain had whisked away in the afternoon breeze and just breathing in the moist air. The air took on a golden light from the setting afternoon sun and tranquil contentment filled my whole body on that trip. One I will never forget.
