On May 1, the afternoon warmed to 80 degrees, and the day was mostly sunny. The beautiful weather stirred a strong monarch butterfly in the early afternoon in our butterfly garden--the first monarch activity of the year. In an hour, at least eight monarchs were observed flying in and out of our garden. A great sight!!
