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.

First On The Tree
Day 54: I'm off schedule this year, but at least I'm early instead of late. I don't usually put the tree up until the 10th, but with today being St. Nicholas' Day and the first batch of cookies having been baked several days ago, I decided I'd at least assemble it and string the lights. That done, the bare boughs nagged at me when I sat down to enjoy my book, so I dragged the ornaments out of the closet and set to work. The first ornament I hang is always Cocoa's, and it goes in a place of honour, front and center at eye level. Hard to believe that the dearest love of my life has been gone almost twenty years.
