Monarch Butterflies.
Personal memory by Cliftine Fortin

I have let the Milkweed plants grow in my backyard in Maine. I live in Central Maine. I used to have many Monarch Butterflies. The last few years, I have only seen one. I miss them . I wish they would come back. I enjoyed watching their life cycle.
