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.

How To Waste A Morning
Day 331: I knew I should have gone blackberry picking two weeks ago. Two and a half hours and over a hundred driving miles later, this was all I had to show for my pains. My best spots had either been picked clean or were ruined by rain. Once I'd put them through the food mill, I had just over a cup of juice, a long way from the six cups I needed for a batch of jam. Blackberries...Himalayan or Evergreen...are the kudzu of the Pacific Northwest. What the heck is going on here?
