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.

Cheery Little Grape Hyacinth
Day 149: They're such mundane little flowers, grape hyacinths, but they always bring a bit of cheer to the early garden. Never mind that wind and rain were "weather du jour," I just dragged out a little sunshine from my bag of special-effects tricks. I'm pleased to see a number of other flowers beginning to raise their heads. The daffodils are showing colour at their tips, and the dogwood is covered with a million tiny buds. The hardy fuchsias are beginning to show new growth on old wood. It won't be long before the garden is a riot of bloom!
