Early Butterfly

Bright sunny and clear day and pleasantly warm by lunch time.
Almost nothing to write about until I went out into the garden to resume bagging up of my homemade compost.
I turned toward the wheelbarrow and nudged it slightly, from under the front a Painted Lady butterfly fluttered away. Tanatalisingly quick but long enough to see the colouring. These little animals must be using strong antifreeze to have survived the past week of sub zero temperatures.
