Number: 1000

August 11

Our monarchs are just starting to arrive. We have approximately 200 so far, but soon our tree branches will be bending from the weight of all that will arrive on their way south. They have roosted here for as far back as I can remember and I am now 60. They roost in pine tress mostly. There are sunflowers fields near here and we also grow wild flowers for the monarchs.  I will send more pictures as soon as more arrive.

We are up to about 400 or 500 now I would guess!

August 19

I'm guessing there are about a 1000 butterflies here now. They seem to be slower in coming this year. I'm not sure why, but we have had a lot of windy days here so that might effect them I guess.
