Monarch Poem:
Milkweed in the garden scrubbed to the nubs.
Caterpillars climb stems eating all that's green.
People saving Monarchs we should be clubs.
One sneaks in the house causing quite a scene.
I've been raising monarch butterflies for a long time.
When I lived on the ranch I had an acre of four varieties of milkweed,
it haunts me that the new owner failed to water the plants.
Some chrysalis were hidden in my potted plants when I moved
and happily the butterflies followed me. In the video
one sneaks into the house and I set her free with a paper cone.
Bouquets for your enjoyment, a painting by Nancy Friedemann-Sánchez,
and butterflies collected at a Hopi reservation.
