Over the Thanksgiving holiday weekend we went down to see the monarch butterflies. It is only a couple of miles from our house. It was a cold day and the butterflies were all cuddled up on the branches of the eucalyptus trees. We only saw a very few flying around. Over the last few years the numbers have been going down. I noticed that the parks department have been doing some planting of butterfly attracting plants such as milkweed and yarrow. They are trying to lure more monarchs to this area and I hope it is successful.
