Butterfly at Athens Tennis Center!
Butterfly at my tennis courts in Lane Creek, same size and colors as the one at ATC!
Double Rainbow my friend, Correen sent me!
Crazy story, but my friend lost her daughter, Victoria, to cancer and it brought up all kinds of feelings in me from when I lost my sister when she was about her age. Then on top of it, I lost my mom on Christmas Day 8 months ago. A friend sent me a picture of a double rainbow when Victoria died. My sister actually sent me a picture of a double rainbow when my mom died. Then when I was grieving from all of the recent losses...
I decided to take out my ball machine and hit the heck out of a ton of tennis balls. As I was putting the machine back in my car, a butterfly came and flew into the back of my car and landed on my ball machine. I don't usually see black butterflies, but this big one was black, orange, and blue and was gorgeous! It flew from my trunk, to my finger, to my door. It let me pet it for a long time. Then when I opened my car door to leave, it flew onto my hand! I have videos. Seriously, this butterfly wanted to hang with me... It's a long story with video clips that won't download on this blog, but it was serial!!!
Then I had a match the next day and was talking to my friend Ginger (who happens to have the same name as my sister, but also lost her sister recently). She was telling me she went to Victoria's funeral yesterday. As we were talking, a black butterfly with blue and orange on it's wings, exactly like the one I saw at my courts the day before was fluttering all around us and hovered around the picnic table we were at the whole time we were there until we left. It literally was flying circles around me. We were at Athens Tennis Center that day, about a 1/2 hour away from my courts. Could it be the same butterfly? Anyway, Ginger said, when she sees a butterfly hovering like that, she always thinks it's her sister Robin paying her a visit...
