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.

Filling The Larder
Day 339: A second batch of pears is done and in the pantry cupboard where they will wait to bring a little cheer into the cold, dark months of winter. These next few weeks will be occupied with more canning as I stock the larder with fruit and jam. Asian pears are ripening on the counter, gooseberries and currant juice are thawing in the fridge, and if anyone happens to have a surplus of apples, I'd welcome at least part of them with open arms. Store-bought canned fruit doesn't hold a candle to homemade, and even though canning is a lot of work, I believe it's well worth the effort. These pears are going to taste really good when snow blankets the ground.
