Welcome Everyone!

The season is uponst me! My odd little hobby of raising Monarch Butterlies has now gone into high gear and upon persistent urging...I have finally begun to put down all of the excitement that will take place over the next 6 weeks or so.
Thank-you very much for reading this blog and perhaps you will find yourself wanting to help a critter on this planet that needs help.

Baby Monarch Mania!

WOW!   Lots of popping going on around here.

Who has popped:

So far, around MNN, we have had 22 Baby Monarchs this year.     This has a huge "WOW" factor for me as I never thought that I would be able to do this.  And I am floored that I have been able to have so many lovely baby Monarchs come into the world.    My fingers are crossed that the genetics will somehow work and the subsequent generations of Monarchs will remember to come this way.
