While I love flowers, I’m not such a great gardener. Weeds and grass grow exponentially to the time I have to tend the garden.

Thankfully, the Monarchs don’t care about my ramshackle garden.

Numerous ladies were busy laying eggs today as if on a mission. Twice a day, I scour the milkweed looking for baby caterpillars and move them into my little Monarch house!
