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.

A Walk In The Snow
Day 145: Ten days ago, there wasn't enough snow in Longmire Campground to rise above the welts of your boots. Today, the path to the office was flanked by berms three feet high. I went out at lunchtime with intent to walk to the back gate, but when I reached the turnoff to the wastewater management plant and stepped out of the wheel ruts, I post-holed up to my knees. My walk was cut short by a mile, and perhaps that was for the best because the snow was melting quickly under a steady fall of rain. Nature gives, Nature takes away. It is the cycle of things.
