Hi Melanie,
I've been lurking on this thread for a while now. I've been sick a lot lately and have been spending an inordinate amount of time here on ATP reading various threads. Well, I enjoyed your photos and the delightful delivery of your butterfly talk so much that I started reading previous months' threads and have made it all the way to last fall! Your posts have taught me new things, made me laugh, and really cheered me up when I needed it. Thank You!
So, know that you are a ray of light and a source of joy even when depression covers your eyes and leaves you unable to see beyond its darkness and sadness. You are valuable and that has never changed and never will.
As for butterflies...
I took this photo a couple of years ago, but here is a Gulf Fritillary having a color-coordinated meal.
