Day 81: As part of our "Twelve Days of Christmas," my sister-of-the-heart Alison nearly always includes a few marbles for me, knowing how I love to add to my collection. This year, she sent them under heavy guard in person of Little Baby Raven. Oh, dear! Isn't that kinda like putting the cat to watch the canary? With the penchant corvids have for collecting shiny things, I wonder if the present inventory truly reflects the number originally mailed. Look at the gleam in that beady little eye!
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.
