In early October C and C reviewed our history lessons with a visit to Fort Ticonderoga. Our sojourn in New England would soon end for this year and we wanted to fit in one more experience before returning south. A bonus was finding the King's Garden behind the fort in its final blooming stages before the cold winds blow in. It was bustling with insect activity gearing up for a winter sleep or a long migration - hundreds of pristine newly hatched monarchs littered the Dahlias and asters and zinnias while bees hummed in any blooming bush or shrub. A feast for human eyes as well.
