A Migration Surprise!

by Craig & Marcia Sampson

We came home after a labor day weekend up north and were walking the dogs around the acreage in the dark.   We heard ‘flutters’ and turned on the flashlight and there were hundreds of butterflies on the trees.   What a blessing that was to us!   As I grew up by Forest City the monarchs always did a stop over at our farm, so I was so touched that they stopped by here too.    We are continually adding milkweed and planting bushes and trees to encourage butterflies and birds.    We look forward to adding more to our mini prairie land area.
