I am not a gardener. 4 years ago I tossed packets of “meadow” flowers around my small suburban front yard, and last year I instructed my lawn guy where NOT to mow as the flowers spread across my lawn. When he didn’t come back to mow the frost-bitten, dried plants at the beginning of November, it looked pretty shabby. But on frigid days and especially when it snowed, birds flocked to my little meadow for breakfast & lunch! I can hardly wait to see what will happen to my meadow this year. My goal is for my lawn guy to run out of lawn to mow!

As a former trucker that used to run near the border, I can tell you that driving through a Monarch migration was a straight up massacre.

4 generations to get to their destination as far north as Canada,
but only 1 generation to return back to Mexico…
to return to the same forest…
to land back on the same tree that they have never seen before, that their great great great grandparent lived on so many months before.
Incredible!
