Thank you all who had suggestions to fix the font size on my blog. I think it's back to normal now.
Margaret, who blogs at At Home In New Zealand, expressed an interest in my Butterfly 'collection'.
It started when she noticed my bookmark in one of my pictures. Those butterflies are painted by
Christopher Marley and on the back of the bookmark he identifies each one.
I also have framed butterflies mostly from other countries where they grow them a lot bigger than what we have. All the butterflies that I have have been raised in farms and not taken from the wild.
I won't bore you with all the names but this lovely blue one is called Morpho Didius and came from Brazil.
The green one is Papilio Blumei and came from Sulawesi. ( Sure hope I copied down the names correctly. I had to stand on a chair to read the backs of the pictures.)
This is the cupboard that my DH built for this collection of mine. It hangs on the wall of the sunroom.
It's been a busy day. I baked my Christmas cake ( pictures coming soon) and made Split Pea Soup for supper ( which we haven't had yet).
Thanks for visiting today,
Granny Marigold
