We hold onto the memories. I cannot say anything uplifting about the Monarchs. We are here in Northern Michigan on a small penisula situated between the harbor and bay leading out to the Lake. Any farms are far away. But just yesterday I was bemoaning the fact that, after the delight of seeing flowers covered with Monarchs here last year, we now barely see one or two flitting about. (And yes, I also saved my photos; is this what we are going to be left with? Sorry to add that note. But.....the sun comes out, and our hope is renewed.)]]></description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Anne, I’m sorry for the loss of your dear friend. We hold onto the memories.

I am moved to respond. The older I get the deeper I feel how grief binds us ever closer to those we love and to this, as you say, irreplaceable world. We hate losing loved ones, and we hate what our industrial civilization and sheer human cupidity is doing to our fellow species. What can we do but love each other and embrace Mother Nature more fiercely than ever? And take care of whatever patch of the planet entrusted to us. Which you and Harry do with such love and commitment at the Bronze Fox Farm. Thank you!]]></description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Thank you for this post, Anne. I am moved to respond.

It was actually a deer we found dead the other day. Or at least, the other day we found just a leg which I found distressing. It seemed to have been butchered. Grant felt the carcass must have been dumped in the woods for wild animals to find. Two days later he could smell that the carcass was nearby and this morning down in the field the ribs and skull. Just a fawn which is so sad. These things upset me probably more than they should. I am a little troubles about how that little deer encountered death just up the hill, but there is no point in dwelling on that. You probably saw the story of our Monarchs and problems with the milkweed. I think our plants were affected by something being used up the hill where they now have a farm. I so hope at least one or two made it. I am so sorry about your friend. I still think of long ago friends too. Be well.]]></description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The buzzard shots are great.
