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!

Bee-Wear
Day 103: The United States is on the fast track for achieving the unenviable status as the world's most environmentally insensitive country, and that's a shameful drop from being one of the leaders in environmental technologies and protections. You can thank the current administration for the decline. Stupid, wrong-headed and greedy, the Trumpskyites and their chief are out to grab money with no mind to the fact that they and their children are not going to have air to breathe or food on their tables if they continue on their current course. It's going to be up to us, the little people, to save the world. To that end, I beg you to support the environmental causes nearest to your heart whether they're on behalf of birds, bats, bees or bison. DO something! If you can't find it in your budget to contribute financially, give them some of your time by volunteering.
"Bee-wear" (the next installment in my Joppa Flats Hats Project) has been designed to promote pollinator awareness. Many of our pollinators are in decline, but none quite so dramatically as bees. Native bees need native plants in order to survive and be healthy. Find out what native species your local bees need and plan your landscaping accordingly.
