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.

The Wish Book
Day 62: Oh, the Wish Book came in today's mail and I sat down immediately to start planning out next year's garden, visions of Gazanias, Zinnias and Cosmos dancing in my head. I love the Wish Book! It's full of dreams, full of hope, full of color and life and zest. It brightens December's gloom in a manner so undeniable that it turns every reader into a Master Gardener, at least in the visions of immaculate flowers and lush fields of vegetables it generates. Realistically, I don't have space to dedicate a bedroom to plant racks and light arrays, and I know many of my eventual efforts will be thwarted by ravaging deer and elk, but as long as I can dream, I might as well dream big. If the raised beds never happen, it won't be for lack of wishing.
