Below is a wonderful little video I just found about Monarch Butterflies! I'm so happy to hear they are still around. In the last several years in Massachusetts we saw a steady decline of Monarchs - last summer we only saw three...Ten years ago, in my back yard which was replete with plantings to attract bees, butterflies and birds (the three Bs apparently!), I'd see hundreds of Monarchs over the summer and especially in fall as they were migrating South. In the pictures above, all the critters were attracted to my gigantic butterfly bushes! They were actually trees - one of them grew to over 20 feet tall and was about 15 feet wide at the top. So beautiful...

Ciao for now.
