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 Lot Of Brass
Day 119: When my mother passed away, I added her Bells of Sarna to my own small selection. As you can see, the designs of each are unique (at least I hope I didn't put any duplicates in the display). Each one has a specific purpose. My mom could have told you the meanings and/or ceremonies associated with each of these, but unfortunately never wrote them down. The collection is normally suspended by decorative cords at the sides of two different doorways where in passing, I will bump into them unless I make a specific point to avoid them. I love hearing them ring.
