Back with more photos.
1. Of the four Blue Hibiscus, this is the only one that still has branches with leaves. The other three look to have emerging leaves budding out, but most of the growth has been chewed off. Well I can't deal with that. I must do something. I suspect rodents of causing the damage.
2. Flower bed 1, with the new Hibiscus planted. I've been adding more rocks to the flower bed edges too.
3. Remember seeing the back of the Kid Zone sign? Well, we removed it for the Christmas Season. I got to be looking at the two 4x4 posts and decided to decorate them. The girl in the background likes to help me decorate the farm for the Holidays.
4. This is the last photo for now. I took some silk flowers that also have butterflies in the garland and after wrapping a piece of pvc pipe that I found out front on the road with with white ribbon, I wrapped the garland around the pipe too. Then I suspended it between the two posts using a couple of nails on top of the 4x4 posts to hold the pipe in place. The posts were wrapped in white ribbon too, and when I can get into the store, I'll spray the posts with some fake snow, to make them blend in together. It's amazing how many shades of white there are.

I have more that I will share when I have time. I haven't shared the monarch photos at all. I tend to take a lot of photos as I go, and I know that I will have a chance to post them during the cold, wet days when I can't get out to the garden.

A shout out to our friend Sheila. I saw a sulphur butterfly in my garden yesterday! :-D More to share on that one later.

Please take a moment and let me know what you are thinking about the garden and this first phase of it's development. Suggestions, advise, comments are all welcomed. :-)

Tonight, I'm very happy. The family had a nice Thanksgiving Dinner together. DH got his chores done, and he still got to watch his football games. Even better, I finally got the time, and still had enough energy to update this thread. It's been a very Blessed day.
