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!

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.
