This afternoon I was on the deck reading.
It felt warm in the sun even though it was only 52 degrees.
Out of the corner of my eye I saw the Cabbage White.
Butterflies! It felt warm in the sun even though it was only 52 degrees.

And your heart stopped for a moment, right?
ReplyDeleteSo happy for you. Butterfies are back!
Beautiful, beautiful butterfly. Sweet cabbage white.....a pure joy!
ReplyDeleteAaahhh Cabbage White is usually my first butterfly of the year. I haven't seen one yet. I can't wait.
ReplyDeleteYay! Butterflies! Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteDear Mary,
ReplyDeleteMy heart did stop for a moment!
It is still very cold, 33 degrees right now. Seeing the Cabbage White was a joy! I hope it warms up a bit next week and more butterflies come out. I do love the birds but the butterflies send my heart soaring!

Dear Cheryl,
ReplyDeleteThe butterflies are the most joyful for me. I love the bees and lady beetles too but for some reason when I see the butterflies I just think all is well in my world.
Sherry
Dear Lisa,
ReplyDeleteI had thought I would see an Eastern Comma or a Questionmark first this year.
It really has not been very warm. The sun helped out yesterday.
I am looking forward to cleaning the flowerbeds and getting my letuuce seeds planted.
The gardens are waking up. Everyday it seems a bit greener outside.
Sherry
Dear Jayne,
ReplyDeleteSo happy to see the butterflies.
How are your nesting blue birds? I took a nice series of photos of a Red Bellied Woodpecker getting her nesting hole just perfect!
It is a wonderful time of year, birds, bugs and blooms!
Sherry
Oh, his body looks so soft and fluffy and fuzzy. I want to touch it, in your photo. But of course, a human touch would injure. So... no... Not for real. :-)
ReplyDeleteWow, I can't wait for our Cabbage White's to return! hmm did I just say that! Well, anyways then spring will be here!
ReplyDeleteNice work, Sherry. I've seen butterflies, but haven't gotten one to pose yet.
ReplyDeleteMari-Nanci,
ReplyDeleteI think it is okay to touch butterflies. You do have to be careful not to brush off their scales.
I am so happy I saw a butterfly. That will keep me going another week at least!
Sherry
Dear Tom,
ReplyDeleteLOL! I know what you mean. Cabbage Whites can cause lots of damage!
They are considered a pest by some gardeners. I like them!
Spring will be in your neck of the woods very soon!
Sherry
Dear Marvin,
ReplyDeleteThey can be quick in the Spring.
Loking forward to seeing your butterflies this year.
Sherry

Dear Cat,
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! I am honored.
It has been rather chilly so I have not seen butterflies yet!
Last year I had all sorts in MArch.
Glad it is starting to warm up some and the butterflies are emerging.
I do love them!
Sherry
