Now is the time that you should be seeing #monarchs doing their thing. By now, they have reached those places in the U.S. where they regularly breed. Are you seeing any #monarchbutterflies or caterpillars where you are?

Are you growing #milkweed? You should! Milkweed is the only host plant for #monarch caterpillars.
Monarchs’ numbers are down. If you want to see more monarchs, plant milkweed plants for caterpillars and plants with flowers for the #butterflies to feed on.

Good night, all. Sleep like you’re a kitten who’s exhausted from playing and has not a care in the world.

She’s a hard working kitten. So many naps to take. So many nap locations to cover. #CatsofBlueSky

It’s 7°F outside as I post this on a cold December night. Lenny the squirrel longs for a day when the outside water isn’t frozen. (This picture is from October.) Sorry little guy! On the upside, the snow is pretty. ❄️ ❄️ ❄️

It was bit brisk here in Minnesota today, with chillier temperatures to come this winter, to be sure. I have to make sure to keep the bird feeders full!

The time I found a lethargic bee so I placed him on a flower. Before long he was flying again!

Is there a #SquirrelsofBlueSky? I have a lot of great squirrel pics. This is Ivan. He’s spunky and quite chatty.

This night in May was a beautiful night in Minnesota for northern lights. Someday I’d like to see them in a place where they’re even more vivid.

Snow ❄️ fell in Minnesota this week, but I prefer instead to think back on warm sunny days and on beautiful delicate butterflies fluttering about. ☀️🦋🌳🌸
