Bella the Butterfly Adrienne Kleinschmidt

I have always thought the Monarch Butterfly to be one of those magical wondrous gifts of Nature. One, which has always been a part of my life. Who does not love Butterflies? What?s not to love? Their graceful flight of fancy, as they gather sweet nectar from the beautiful flowers. A thing of beauty is a joy forever. It?s beauty does not fade or diminish as it continues it?s magical, mystical, ancient journey from one land to another. It spreads joyful imaginations where ever it goes! We can save it! Please do! From inhabiting 45 acres of land to less than 2 is a serious consideration at hand! If we do not do something, Right Now, we will see the end of this magnificent Butterfly. And it will be in the next few years. This is not something that happened because of Nature. Indeed, it is very *un-natural*. The farmers were informed that they need to kill the Milkweed Plants which the Monarch Butterfly desperately needs to live! Why? Why, indeed! To produce more corn for ethanol. Did we have a vote in this action? No, we did not. Yet, we can do something very important to save these glorious gifts of Nature. We can plant the Milkweed Plants to save them. These plants also have wonderful flowers of orange, yellow and pink. They are perennials and will come up every year. Let's All get on board of a most wonderful cause and Save Our Butterflies! Just plant your seeds and save the Monarchs!
