The
Butterfly Universe
When Sonja was
diagnosed with retinitis pigmentosa, her husband J. began turning
their house into a kaleidoscope of colors, because the doctor said
the brighter colors would be easier for her to see. The results are
amazing and their house is something joyful to behold. I just couldn’t
wait to share it with all of you!
I’m starting
you on the About page, where you will find what the house looked like
before it was painted and also find stories about Sonja and J. They
have both lived interesting lives and have two gorgeous cats.
Next, you should
head on over to the Pictures section. There you will find more in-depth
photos of the Butterfly House. I adore the cheery entry way into their
house with its awesome ceiling. I also love the mosaic globe and the
sunny yellow cement. My only complaint would be that there aren’t
enough pictures!
If you head over
to the Articles section, you can read Scott Brown’s article
about the Butterfly House and its residents. To read the full article,
you will need a PDF reader and you can get one here
for free. The article not only discusses Sonja and J. and their Butterfly
House, but also Sonja’s condition of retinitis pigmentosa.
Under the Friends
section, you can read some of the lovely letters they’ve received
from people around the world, as well as, their memorial entry to
Dr. William Wenner. You can also see a listing of where their house
has been featured in different publications.
I adore the joy
on their faces in the photos of them together, as well as, the joy
their house has given other people. I hope it makes your day more
cheery, as I know it has brightened mine!
