I met the monarch of the Alderfer-Oenslager Wildlife Sanctuary yesterday. My hike through the sanctuary was my goal for the most recent 7-week session of Faithful Finish Lines. 

More picture to come during the next week.

My peonies bloomed this week and my house smells wonderful. I was like a kid on Christmas morning when I discovered they had bloomed.
