Hetty, I chose my screen name Mariposa Maid because I am deeply committed to doing what I can to maintain the Monarch Butterfly and the Monarch migration for myself and my grand kids and and as a 'canary in the coal mine' symbol of the transformations necessary in my yard, region, country, continent, world so that humans and butterflies/pollinators. all creatures great and small can flourish on this big blue marble planet.
To eventually have 11 Butterfly ( Monarchs!!!!) Badges across my header would give me hope and focus at this critical time of why I tend my garden and my part in the web of life.
