Saw either a monarch or a viceroy yesterday.

Was in flight so couldn't see whether of not had the black band thru the veining on the hindwings.

Have narrowleaf milkweed sprouting up all over, like a weed. Native plant and once sprouts up somewhere, needs little encourage from attention or water. I'm working towards having a meadow of it in the backyard. BIG improvement over frickin grass - screw lawns!

In other news turned a day older earlier in the month - thanks for the B-day greetings.

Still mopey over the news, hence my latest absence in here. Hoped to get a superhero power on my birthday and use it to make the world a better place - didn't happen :(

Cutback on news watching, focus on making the yard better for milkweed. It helps (still open to superhero power).

Some superhero power would be great to hit some people over the head ... honestly!!!

I think I saw one, too! Flying away from some milkweed in our yard... over to the neighbor who uses pesticides. I give up.

I recognize Angel from Rock & Rule!

The news is super stressful all the time. I can't look away but it is still nerve wracking.
