I personally love these late-season snows. They come down hard in large flakes and for the most part, disappear as soon as they hit the rain-soaked ground. They're fun to have around for a few hours...guests, if you will, who know when it's time to leave. They seldom become irritating, nor do they leave much to clean up after they've departed. This current visitor seems to be destined to stay a few nights, however, but I don't think we're in any danger of running out of hot chocolate before it too realizes it might be overstaying its welcome.
365Caws is now in its 14th year of publication, and was originally intended to end after 365 days. It has sometimes been difficult for me to find new material, particularly during the winter months, but now as I enter my own twilight years, I cannot guarantee that I will be able to provide daily posts. It is my hope that along the way I may have inspired someone to a greater curiosity about the natural world. If so, I can rest, content in the knowledge that my work here has been done.
