Fall in Bozeman never lasts long enough. It's a beautiful season that sometimes lasts 12 minutes but no matter the length, some of my favorite things to do in Bozeman are best done in the Fall. Follow me...

As I've discussed many times, gardening is therapy for me. With no training, classes or skill my only desire each day is to come home and look at my flowers. Whatever is blooming and it doesn't matter what kind.

Montanans love their lawns. If yours (like mine) needs a little help this Spring, there are a couple things to know about the best time to plant some new grass seed.
