Hannah from Clinton County Conservation came to do a program on tagging Monarchs. She brought along 15 Monarchs and one Viceroy. The Viceroy looks like a Monarch, but much smaller. Hannah showed us the process of tagging a Monarch. 1st you must check the sex, the length and then the number on each tag. We all are amazed by the whole metaphors of this beautiful butterfly. #BickfordofClinton

Hey, we are all wishing Don a very Happy 91st Birthday. He said he wished he had a Birthday every day! #BickfordofClinton

Creating art with broccoli and Q-tips. You'd be surprised at what you can do with minimal things. #BickfordofClinton

We got the pleasure of an up and close view of the Bickelhaupt Arboretum glass floor "Frormally the Bickelhaupts indoor pool." The glassware was all hand crafted for this floor. In 2014 Eastern Iowa Community College was gifted the Bickelhaupts house and property. They have done a stunning job with the 15 acres grounds. They have created an event center, an educational learning center. We even got to view Thomas Dumbo Troll. #BickfordofClinton

We sure know how to celebrate "A Taste of Italy" Started off watching a travel log on Italy, had a delicious Italian style lunch followed up by building their own pizzas for supper. Great job ladies, they looked amazing!

Today was another Monarch release day. So far this has been number 54. We never get tired of this amazing gift. #BickfordofClinton
