@sueinmn, Thank you for this information, Sue. That is a disturbing drop in numbers and we can only hope for an increase this year compared with last. Although there are several Monarch way stations listed in TX, I've not found one in our area. Will check with our local arboretuem or maybe master gardeners for more info. I appreciate your sharing and will keep my fingers crossed that more of the Mighty Monarchs make it to their winter destinations this year.

@fiesty76 and @sueinmn Where I used to live, there were some groves of eucalyptus trees. Each spring, we would watch for the monarchs returning. There were some years with scores of them other years the weather was just a little too cold or something that turns them away. I recall ever so fondly one Sunday morning, leading our group in Tai Chi outdoors. We chose the park with some eucalyptus trees and moved over towards them. As we did our forms in complete silence, the monarchs came off the leaves as the sun warmed them up, and flittered around us, lifting our spirits something mightily. It almost seemed like they were dancing with us!
