~Skipper Butterfly~
Boy, this seems like the longest winter ever! So far, this is Austin's 5th coldest winter on record and rain, sleet and maybe even a dusting of snow is expected tomorrow morning. Thought a butterfly in full TX summertime sun might warm those of us up who are in the middle of those wintertime blues!
