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.

Garden Colour
Day 230: Today, we are having garden colour because what else can you do in between phone calls to CenturyLink to see what the newest "estimated repair time" will be for restoration of internet service? You wander around in the yard taking pictures of flowers, common flowers like Columbine and Bleeding-hearts. And then you dig out some old wooden fence posts, plant some lettuce, pull some weeds, do some needlework, read a little, play with the kitty, feed birds, and engage in the most purple blasphemous words when aforesaid CenturyLink changes the time frame from 9:30 AM to 2:30 PM, from 2:30 PM to 7 PM, from 7 PM to 9:30 AM tomorrow, and when tomorrow has dawned, from 9:30 AM to 3:30 PM. "Our technicians are already working on it." And on Memorial Day weekend, of course they are! And my grandmother is a bicycle. Hello. I'm back. And as Eeyore once remarked, "At least it isn't raining."
