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.

Cool Quartet
Day 226: I'm really jazzed about my garden right now. Who wouldn't be, when this quartet is playing upbeat blues? I'm ashamed to admit that the wisteria surprised me. I hadn't noticed that it was in bud, and here it is, in full flower. The clematis is a new addition ("Multi Blue"). I thought my beautiful "Vancouver Sea Breeze" had died off after being buried under snow for a month, but when I went to plant its replacement, I discovered a pair of new stems. Two clematis isn't a bad thing, although they're going to have to share the same trellis. The Siberian iris and Bachelor's Buttons are old-fashioned favourites without which my flower beds would feel incomplete. The blues are cool!
