365Caws is now in its 16th year of publication. If I am unable to post daily, I hope readers who love the natural world and fiberarts will seize those days to read the older material. Remember that this has been my journey as well, so you may find errors in my identifications of plants. I have tried to correct them as I discover them. Likewise, I have refined fiberarts techniques and have adjusted recipes, so search by tags to find the most current information. And thank you for following me!

A Study In Persistence
Day 55: Blooming in spite of a week of hard frosts, Viola persists. That alone should be enough to qualify it for the title "weed." I've tried to eradicate it from my garden, and it goes without saying that I have been unsuccessful in my quest. Still, you have to acknowledge the heroic tenacity of this plant, as if it could echo the words, "Never give up. Never surrender." You'd admire that in a human, so why not give Viola its due?
