full circle

Almost two years after the auspicious meeting where I received the gift of Fred the Monarch, today I once again met my friends Maryse and Tom to catch up and share some exquisite wine in a beautiful place. They brought me another milkweed plant from their garden in Santa Cruz and, once again, we were delighted to discover the plant contained a tiny stowaway! Thankfully, it's a very warm August and this Monarch should thrive in my outdoor garden. I love life's full circle experiences.
