Alas, May is here and everyone in Garfield County can forget about being bogged down by snow (let’s hope). Getting this memo is the region’s exquisite vegetation.

Whether it’s curbside appeal in Rifle and Glenwood Springs or wild, flowering bushes and trees out in the countryside, colors are delightfully shinning bright from so many flower peddles.
