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.

Your December WTF Moment
Day 52: Yes, those are daffodils. In December. If ever there was a "WTF moment," it was yesterday when I noticed them in my garden, and therefore I uttered that precise and vulgar phrase spontaneously. As to why they might be so far ahead of schedule is impossible to speculate. It's not overly warm, and certainly the amount of daylight they've been receiving is only marginally more or less than that in any other December. Yet there they are, happy little heads poking through the ground in anticipation of spring. Kids, you're gonna beat the pussywillows this year, and that just ain't right!
