I’ve forgotten how nice it is to talk to someone (anyone, really) about my conservation work for monarch butterflies. This morning I got to do just that for half an hour! I cannot tell you much yet, but I was interviewed for an upcoming article by a conservation organization. This was something that just came…
Yesterday, I did something that I’ve been putting off. If you read my blog regularly, you know we’ve been cleaning out in anticipation of moving later this year. Sometimes cleaning out is easy.

The second leg of our National Park tour vacation was a two night stay at the Grand Canyon in Arizona. Neither my husband nor I have ever been to the Grand Canyon. Since we were headed to Arizona, a visit to the canyon was a must. I made our reservations during the first few days…
