There used to be this beautiful butterfly garden in the public park next to where I grew up where the monarchs would lay their eggs and the caterpillars would hatch and feed on the milkweed. I must have been 7 or 8 when I visited during one of the great annual migrations that the monarchs make. There were thousands of them, a truly wondrous sight. I know I enjoyed it, but I didn't appreciate it, I guess you never do appreciate something like that until it’s only a memory. I wish I could go back there.
That section of the park got paved over for a parking lot to the adjacent private tennis club that the residents of the town just had to have. This is progress, I'm told. The monarchs don’t fly through the town anymore. There are so few of them left now. Was it worth it? Who am I to say?
I’ve only experienced their migration once, and there were dozens of them flying through the streets and around houses. I’d like to recreate that by planting milkweed flowers all over my yard. It’s a start for something.
