It’s a lazy Wednesday, and the rain has moved in from the mountain. Much like summers in Colorado, the afternoon sprinkles roll through every afternoon. Sometimes the mist blocks out the mountains completely, and the rumbly thunder echoes through pretty spectacularly! It does make it a bit humid, having no a/c and relying on all the windows to be open, but it is still only 70F and not very bright out. So it is pretty tolerable. 😂

This AirBnB is big into sustainability and conservation. They have a solar panel system for the hot water, a rain barrel system for landscaping, underground heating around the parking lot for winter safety, and are very into recycling. The roof drainage gutter below is kind of cool, rather than just spewing out of the tube, it has chains to the ground. So not only does it sort of help the runoff to spread better, it is an interesting landscape look. There are a lot of succulents incorporated into the landscaping, as well.
