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.

Today, Everybody's Irish
Day 166: Oxalis is frequently sold at this time of year under the name of "Shamrock," but true shamrocks are a type of clover. Likewise, the "traditional" American dinner of St. Paddy's Day corned beef and cabbage is about as Irish as pierogi or lasagna. But what do we care? On St. Patrick's Day, everybody's Irish...even auld crusty Scots like me. Have a happy St. Pat's!
