Wild flowers are an excellent way to add texture and color to your landscape. Combining old-time cheerful favorites like rudbeckia, cosmos, shasta daisy’s, poppies and baby’s breath will create a whimsical paradise throughout your landscape. Sow seeds with a spreader in early spring or late fall. Cheers
With run off subsiding, now is the time to get a line wet. In order to obtain the “big bite” I like to fish with a streamer. Streamers imitate bait fish which usually attract larger prey. One of my favorite streamers to use on the river or in still waters is the Wooly Bugger. When used effectively during free floating or stripping it’s guaranteed to increase your chances of landing that special trophy. Cheers
Happiness is scheduling a tee time on a rocky mountain golf course. Play the hard ball for 9 or 18 holes with various clubs while enjoying the pristine landscape.
Golf Tip
During your back swing remember to always keep your head down and your eye on the ball. Cheers

A stunning drought tolerant plant that will thrive in zone 4 is our flower of the month celosia. Its feathery plumes of scarlet or gold will add contrast and color to your garden. It is a full sun flower and is excellent cut or dried. Sow seeds in spring for plumes that will thrill throughout summer. Cheers
Weather patterns are exhibiting extreme behavior in our region and the world. Some are plague with drought while others are experiencing monsoon rains and flooding.
Here in zone 4 we experienced a long winter, beginning with frequent arctic air blast followed by record rain. The additional moisture has transformed the prairie into the Emerald City. Cheers
