365Caws is now in its 16th year of publication. If I am unable to post daily, I hope readers who love the natural world and fiberarts will seize those days to read the older material. Remember that this has been my journey as well, so you may find errors in my identifications of plants. I have tried to correct them as I discover them. Likewise, I have refined fiberarts techniques and have adjusted recipes, so search by tags to find the most current information. And thank you for following me!

The Gift Of Bread
Day 66: For as long as I've been baking bread (and that's almost half a century), I have given loaves as gifts for numerous occasions, but during the Christmas season, my oven goes into overdrive and for about a week, I make bread daily and deliver it to nearby friends. As part of the tradition, each loaf is wrapped in a cotton towel as part of the gift. The style of towel varies from year to year, sometimes terry, sometimes birdseye, but generally, I choose a plain white fabric. This year's "pain du jour" is sourdough with a slashed crust liberally painted with butter. Is there a person alive who does not appreciate fresh bread?
