Dear Friends,

We’re getting ready for the arrival of the monarchs on Cerro Pelon. My sisters-in-law are amping up their production of coronas, which they sell to our neighbors for the massive redecoration of the local cemetery on Day of the Dead. We’re also growing sempasuchil to adorn the graves. Newly arrived monarchs love to nectar on these marigolds.
