There were two notable discoveries the last two weeks. First I saw my first Monarch butterfly in several years on our property and the other discovery was a large box turtle in the backyard. That was the first one I saw in a few years in our yard. It could have been six inches long.

Where are the monarch butterflies? I really was not paying attention until someone remarked, “I have not seen one this summer.” I realized I had not neither. They are usually the most common butterfly to see. I will keep my eyes open for it. Something is wrong and I do not know what it is.
