It's Happening !!!!!

 This morning much to our surprise the Monarchs started to climb out of their birth home. It takes actually quite a long time as they are folded in such way that the wings and body need to "unfold", quite a process to watch. The score now is two out, nine to go.....

Just getting out into the real world.....

Wings still wet and needing to dry to get stiff enough to fly.

I wonder if any one of our "children" will be the ones to fly to South America to

get together with other Monarchs to breed and fly back to lay their eggs in the States.

I'm looking forward to another summer of excitement next year watching the Monarchs 

as we will have a near forest of milkweed for them to graze on. This has been more

fun that I can tell you. Plant some milkweed on your patios and wait...you will attract 

Monarchs and perhaps see the process yourself of the worms becoming butterflies. 

Remember Don't kill the worms  that's the first evolutionary step for them.
