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.

Guests And Gifts
Day 60: Friends came to visit yesterday (something of a rarity in my world), bringing with them a hearty lunch and baklava. Baklava! Is there anything tastier? Paper-thin phyllo leaves slathered with butter, a filling of chopped pecans and spices, the whole confection drenched in honey, baklava is sticky, rich, crisp, chewy, and sinfully delicious. With another member of the family at home, they did not leave me with the whole tray, but knowing how much I love this exquisite dessert pastry, they gave me a full selection which will be carefully rationed over several days. Thank you, Suzie and Ceilidh!
