Last week, a few days after the thaw, I heard fluttering in our bedroom. This beautiful butterfly was flapping against the window. He had been hiding somewhere in the room to hibernate and the house was now too warm for him.
He settled for a minute on the back of my daughter's hand. He wasn't at all interested in the smudge of water and honey she had for him on her hand. He just rested there and quivered his wings for a while, then I caught him and released him outside.
He was last seen flying up into a blue (!!!) sky from our back door.
Lovely have you checked out the one on my arm ...

DeleteGosh Lorna, what a haul!
ReplyDeleteI've been a good girl for ages now and concentrating on using machines rather than buying them. The fact that I've run out of space has nothing to do with it.
Can't wait to see the pics.
Love,
Muv
