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.

Here It Comes!
Day 133: Spring is beginning! The first of my pussywillows popped about two weeks ago, and although the tree doesn't have a lot on it yet, the signs of the season are there to see, right outside my kitchen window. Other portents are emerging: 3-4" daffodil shoots, a few curly tulip leaves, threads of grape hyacinth. It's happening. Spring is coming! But wait...what are those white things drifting down? Sigh. Ma Nature is playing tricks on me again.
