Imagine rocking lazily in an old white chair on a covered porch, looking out over lush green hills. You’re reading a book about ranch hands of the Old West. The breeze is blowing gently beneath a deep blue sky and the smell of sage inspires your senses as you sip hot, sweet coffee.
Later, in front of an easel, with a paint brush in hand, you’re looking out the window of an old, yet perfectly restored, ranch house in awe of the spectacular Rocky Mountain view imagining the scene of cowboys tending to their horses and preparing their dinner in the yard in the glow of the setting sun.
Or maybe you’re walking along the river, reflecting on a passage from a book you picked up earlier in the day about fly fishing. Or, you might be photographing bird species that you’ve never seen before.
These scenarios sound dreamy, something you might think about to mentally escape from being cooped up in an office all day. But experiencing these things are possible … or will be eventually, as the Rocky Mountain Land Library transforms from an idea to an actual educational retreat of sorts.
