It circles around it and in larger circles around our entire garden. At times, it lands on one of the flowers. We love watching it. In researching Monarchs I came across your story, above, and it reminded me of a family we know in Santa Barbara. They believe Lady Bugs are connected to the spirit of a relative. Every time they see one - inside their home, they carefully take it outside - all the while thanking their deceased relative for the visitation. Watching "our" Monarch, as it circles - sometimes coming very near to us as we sit on our deck - we feel so connected to it and everything else. We are thankful for its visitation and happy it found its way into our garden - and to our new Milkweed plant.3rdimensionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15247527226567932248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8347243279318294019.post-30106582657493726492010-10-13T19:41:19.437-07:002010-10-13T19:41:19.437-07:00Hey Mary Alice,

Wayne must plan and expect greatness.<br /> I just wanted to say I like your work and ask you, how do you know who to go with for publishing in light of the number of books I have to offer on the Civil War? I seem to be having a tough time breaking through the egg shell of traditional publishing. Do you have any tips which would help an old Southern Author get his books rolling? <br /><br />Sincerely,<br />John T. WayneJohn T.
