Monarch watchers: I saw three Monarchs on my zinnias yesterday!
I felt like I was in a dream, they were so beautiful!
Of course my camera was in the house. 
I am in western PA. I have a small patch of milkweeds not far from the zinnias. I had three caterpillars and one adult Monarch earlier this summer. I wonder if the adults I saw today were those former caterpillars?
I hope I'm helping them in my small way.

My grandmother lost her first husband and two baby sons in the Flu epidemic.
I don't know anything else about them.... Such sad family history and it is now lost forever.
She remarried and had nine more children. One of the boys died in the Pacific in WW2. I could probably find out information about him. I just know that he is buried in the Philippines. Sad.....
