Last Wednesday, I had recess duty and when I took the kids outside, we saw butterflies everywhere. They were flitting through the air and alighting on tree branches. Hundreds, if not thousands flew across our playground in the fifteen minutes we were outside. Orange and black creatures swooped around me as I ducked and danced to avoid them. The fourth grades giddily tried to catch the amazing little travelers, usually with no luck. On a more prosaic note, my windshield hasn't been the same all week!
Yes, we were right in the middle of the great Monarch migration from Mexico back up to the northern states and Canada for the summer. The butterflies and the old folks have the right idea!
