The Monarchs

Today is the 41st Anniversary of the discovery of the Mountain of Butterflies and Google has the coolest 'google doodle" about it.  The butterflies attach themselves to oyamel trees in the Sierra Madre Mountains, in eastern Mexico.
The monarch butterfly is under threat due to climate change and deforestation in the country, where the species migrates to from the the US and Canada in winter.
I LOVE butterflies and have in fact "raised" swallowtails the last two years.  Before that though we have watched monarchs do their thing from some little caterpillars given to us by "the butterfly lady" Mrs Uppdegrove.  It was fascinating.


I am just getting over a case of pneumonia!  It has been awful.  I feel like the last 10 days have been wadded up in kleenex tissue and thrown in the trash!!  Today is the first day I have seen the sun in as many day too!!  That has done a world of good for me!

Here are some late Christmas pictures from 2015!!  New tradition for us was to have Christmas morning downstairs.  Rick fixed up his room and it was really nice and warm...
Our new Christmas Tree ---  I love, love, love it!!

We had a really good Christmas and week after.  All up to the point where I got sick on the 29th!

So now let me wish you all a Happy New Year 2016 and I want do overs!!

Love
