SD Residents








We just got back from Madison, SD. On the way up we stopped in LeMars, IA to do a little geneology and while we were in the cemetery looking for the gravesites we saw these clusters of monarchs in the spruce. It is the first time we have seen monarch clusters and we were very excited. Ken was alittle upset that he didn't bring his long len, so this is all he could get. Lessen learned, always travel prepared for everything.


On the way back we stopped in Sioux Falls and visited the Sertoma Butterfly House, which is open all year. They display tropical butterflies and I believe I heard over 80 kinds but it seemed alot more. Ken is in heaven at these places. It is really something to walk in and see all the beautiful butterflies fluttering around. The butterfly above is the NewQuineaBirdWing, just one example of the beautiful colors the butterflies may be.

Enjoy the little things in life.
