I keep butter in my porcelain butter keeper on the counter year round.  Never tastes off and nothing ever gets into it.  Sure beats trying to spread ice cold butter onto toast.

Leaving butter out in tropical (FL) or semi-tropical (MX) climates is just begging for bugs.  

 

Like the relatively thin pats this knocks out....zap it onto my toasted English muffin and by the time I pour my coffee the pats are soft, ez to spread. 

 

Not looking for sympathy but both my hands are affected with Duputryn's Contracture.  My right hand's pinky and ring fingers are totally curled under and useless   The middle finger is not as bad but disease is progressive.  My left hand is a little better..just the pinky is useless, though my ring and middle fingers are bent pretty badly.  

 

For those unfamiliar with disease, here's a link with pics...the condition of right hand looks almost exactly like the 2nd photo on page:
