Mary Bohley, age 88, with her daughter Barb, tells the artist about her childhood on a farm in Sullivan, MO when thousands of monarchs would be seen each summer -- "making a moving path as I walked through the fields of wildflowers." Lately, Mary and Barb have noticed that they see fewer and fewer monarchs each year.
