Bringing this back to gardening, that couple lived next door to the second place I gardened. They had a delightful maybe 3 or 4 year old son whom I remember standing next to me in my garden and letting me feed him sugar snap peas off the vine.
That was long enough ago the butterflies, if threatened, had not yet made the news. Monarchs were everywhere.
This morning there was a (very late!) Monarch flying around the back yard. Didn't land on anything, so Ihope it finds what it needs. Every time I see a butterfly I promise "I'll have more for you next year!"
