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.

The Gardening Bug
Day 169: Is there a 12-step program for gardeners? I have the gardening bug, big-time. It seems like I can't go to town without something following me home. Today I laid in a new bark bed and planted it with two prostrate junipers (foreground). Two blue junipers will fill in empty spots beside the driveway, and the Periwinkle will sprawl in the corner with my "smiley-face" boulder (a natural crack makes the rock look like it's grinning). Then I must be counselled to patience as I wait for the hardy fuchsias to arrive at the nursery. I have a spot for just one more...or maybe two (she said with a wink).
