Right outside my kitchen window a beautiful butterfly bush grows.Every year I debate whether I should dig it up as it really is too tall to be in front of a window.
We cut it back all the way to the ground in the late winter and by mid summer it is almost covering the window unless we constantly give it a clip and a snip.
When I can have a close-up view of this while I sip my morning coffee . . .
And this as I eat my lunch . . .Any thoughts of digging it up go by the wayside.
If not for my close-up view I never would have noticed this butterfly is missing part of her wing - poor thing :(In fact, this morning I was watching the butterflies flutter and trying to think of my next blog post. Not much was striking me. Oh boy, I only started blogging last month & already the well is dry. Not good.
Hmmm . . . sip of coffee, glance out the window. Hell-O!! Wake up & smell the coffee or should I say grab your camera & get snapping. There is beauty all around us just waiting to be noticed.
When you really take the time to notice, butterflies are one of God's beautiful creatures. They look as though they have been very carefully painted. Watching them flutter through the flowerbed is so soothing.
Earlier this spring I changed things around in my china cabinet.This is my wedding china. It is called Something Blue and made by Mikasa.
What can I say . . . I have always loved flowers and anything to do with the garden.

Last week I did a little thrifting.One of my favorite things to find while thrifting are some of the figurines made in the 50s & 60s. They are made in Japan and have the sweetest faces. Most of my collection are angels, but I do have some other ones too.
I felt I scored big when I found these 2 cuties:
You may be wondering what they have to do with my butterfly post.
Angels ~ with butterfly wings.
Naturally, they had to become part of the china cabinet display.
