Monarchs appeared in the sweet gum trees for about a week, visited the maple, lilac and dogwood. Then reappeared about a week later and stayed for about 5 days more until the cold snap. Several elementary classes came to the house to see the wonder of the butterflies as they flew through the yard and around them. A high school student interviewed me for the local newspaper about the blessing of the returned monarchs.
