    Reblogged this on Bette A. Stevens, Maine Author and commented:

    It’s official—Monarch butterflies are on the Endangered Threatened Species “Red List.”

    Their status was announced by the International Union for Conservation of Nature last week, but we still await a status change from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.

    Some of the largest contributing factors include significant loss of milkweed habitat and growth, as well as an increased use of herbicides, pesticides, and other chemicals.

    Now for the good news. As said by John F. Kennedy, “One person can make a difference, and everyone should try.”

      Concentrating on family… Milkweed is in bloom, but I haven’t spotted any monarchs yet. Weather has been extremely dry this year. Also, have relatives visiting at intervals. Thanks for checking in on me, Jim, 🐛🦋 Wishing you and Ruth a blessed and beautiful summer, my friend!

      Thanks for the note, Joe. An online fellow by the name of Stan made this video; by the time I tried to contact him to revise the cover, his original video on Youtube was no longer available and I had no way to contact him. Fortunately, my daughter had saved his video to Youtube for me, so I still had access. I also wanted book trailers for THE TANGRAM ZOO… and DOG BONE SOUP, so I ended up making my own using Animoto.Was pleased with the results. Have a great weekend and good luck with video production! 🙂 xo

      P.S. Here are links to the two videos I created with Animoto and downloaded to Youtube on my own (it was easy an fun to do):

      Thanks so much, Balroop. Granddaughters are special. Mine are now 27 and 20 and it seems only yesterday they were only 5…and I was reading to them. Pure joy! Great granddaughter Olivia will be 4 this month, but she lives in New Mexico and I’m so happy we can “get together” online via SKYPE and Facebook. ❤ Blessings and love to you and yours, dear friend! ❤ xo
