Agreed, also it is sad as to the how it was discovered by people clearing land for avacado trees(if my memory is correct). Tropical Milkweed is a good all around milkweed for them if you wanted to plant a stand of milkweed. Additionally FWS may be able to grant you a tax exemption for planting milkweed. I forgot who runs that program if it is my TPWS(Tx Parks and Wildlife) or Fish and Wildlife service. I do not know the specifics as I pay nada already for other reasons. Also the chicken leave it alone as it is toxic.

Thanks! I save my Missouri Wildlife magazines. We had an issue on the monarchs not too long ago, I'll look it up. That's good info, both about the chickens and the taxes. I don't mind paying taxes, it's all about being a good citizen... but if I can be a good citizen by maintaining a butterfly pathway instead, that's good, too!

Oh, @N F C and @ValerieJ ~ Thank you both so much for your encouragement and support! I made a batch of SGBR, 1 1/2 c rice to 6 c water, 1/2 tsp salt. In MW cooker at 70% power for 35 minutes. Some of the water had boiled out into the glass pie dish I always put under the cooker, and it was still a little chewy to my taste. So I poured that water back in and put it back in for 10 minutes more at 70%. Then I let it stand, covered, for another 5-10 minutes and am happy with the results. Thank you both!

Glad you found a way to get it to work for you!

We were just discussing this as well. That cold front hit us last night dropping the overnight low to 46.5F(yes the halfs matter). It will probably get a few degrees colder tonight so bringing in the Cook's or Norfolk Pine tree to decorate sounds good. The only problem is we have a new 5-6 month old siamese kitten in the house so probably not putting on any good/fragile ornaments. Here is my wonky tree in its 15 gallon planter!
