This is the 15th year of continuous daily publication for 365Caws. All things considered, it's likely it will be the last year as it is becoming increasingly difficult for me to find interesting material. However, I hope that I may have inspired someone to a greater curiosity about the natural world with my natural history posts, or encouraged a novice weaver or needleworker. If so, I've done what I set out to do.

Legend Of The Pysanky
Day 136: Ukrainian folklore tells us that at the edge of the world, the beast of Hate lies imprisoned in chains. Yet his servants walk among us, spreading his works and causing the chains to loosen, thereby allowing him further reach into the lives of Men. It is also told that for every pysanky made or given, a new link is forged and added to those which bind the monster. While I can only give you this pysanky virtually (I created it and dozens of others some forty years ago when my hands were more steady and the world was a better place), take its love into your hearts and drive the beast back into its den.
