About the white butterfly….

Did you notice the little white butterfly on Sydney’s wrist in her portrait in the prior post?

Jo says she adds butterflies in all of her artwork but was not aware of this when she chose to add the white “cabbage” butterfly.

The story…

We used to get little white butterflies in our house all through the winter. 6 or 7 a winter and they would sit with us on a plant or the coffee table but right next to us, and sometimes on us, until they passed. This went on for years and I saved them after they passed and would put them in the soil in the spring. It stopped when we sold the house and moved. The girls used to tease me and say it was unnatural to have butterflies in the winter but if anyone could have them, we could. We 3 could.
