REAL WINTER TIME FOR MONARCHS.
For nearly a month, cold fronts have continued to hit México.
The temperatures in Monarchs’ overwintering sanctuaries dip to zero Celsius and below. Sunshine hardly warms them up during the day. Exceptional bright orange wings light up as sunlight streams onto trees. What a magical experience for human eyes!
We welcome the rain that winter brings as it should lessen the severe drought conditions our heroic butterflies have been facing the past few years. We are happy to be again wearing our heavy jackets, scarves, and double socks. It is a sign of the return of our normal winter weather.
Monarchs are okay. They could be feeling at home, somehow recognizing a familiar winter that their ancestors experienced years ago.
We now pause our school visits for Winter Break, a quiet time in our cozy homes around the table or the fire with our families for contemplation and gratitude. May the beauty of the Holiday Season warm your spirit! We will return in early January 2024.

UN VERDADERO INVIERNO PARA LAS MONARCAS.
¡Por casi un mes, los frentes fríos nos han continuado golpeando en México!
Las temperaturas en los Santuarios de hibernación de las Monarcas siguen cayendo a cero y bajo cero Centígrados. El sol apenas las calienta un poco durante el día. Sus alas toman un color anaranjado encendido excepcional mientras el sol baña los árboles. ¡Una experiencia mágica para la mirada humana!
Damos la bienvenida a la lluvia que nos trae el invierno pues habrá de disminuir las severas condiciones de sequía que han estado enfrentando nuestras heroicas mariposas en los últimos años. Nos encanta estar usando nuevamente nuestras chamarras gruesas, bufandas y dobles calcetines, pues ésta es una señal del regreso de nuestro clima de invierno que siempre tuvimos.
Las Monarcas estan bien. Ellas deben estar sientiéndose en casa reconociendo un invierno muy familiar que sus ancestros vivieron hace años.
Ahora, hacemos una pausa en nuestras visitas a las escuelas para las vacaciones de Invierno que será un tiempo de tranquilidad en nuestras casas calientitas con nuestras familias alrededor de la mesa o del fogón para la reflexión y la gratitud. Que la belleza de las vacaciones de temporada abrigue sus corazones. Regresaremos a principios de Enero de 2024.
