the first monarch

We have had Tiger Swallowtails, Cabbage, Baltimores, and various Skipper butterflies gracing my garden--but not one monarch until today!

Tickling my purple Butterfly Bush, taking in the sweet nectar was a solitary Monarch. Even a few passers-by stopped to admire the sight. My children were thrilled.

As was I.

The joy does, indeed, lie in the details.

  1. Hi! First time visitor. We've had a few monarchs cruising through the neighbor. I'm sure they're on their way to someplace a little cooler during the day and not quite so parched.

    Best wishes,
    Skeeter
