    Monarch Butterfly

    @kcinwv , thanks for the article on Monarchs. I don't think too many of us HERE are spraying for these wild plants. We members of TEG are really not the types to Roundup kill dandelions sprouting in the sidewalks. As for ME, I find smothering my least favorite weeds better than 2 D4'ing them...

Since I am up at 3AM (for the GDS puppies), I get to see the dew...
