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.

Strength In Adversity
Day 19: First inducted into the model pool in July, for the last month or more, this onion was supplanted by younger talent and went to a forgotten corner to sulk over its decline in status. It had a lot of time to think of a strategy whereby it could regain the limelight, hoping meanwhile to avoid the stew-kettle of ignominy, and today reappeared for an interview with a fresh perspective. One has to admire its commitment and determination, drawn clearly from the very core of its being, and must applaud its strength through the dark adversity inflicted upon it during its isolation. There is courage bursting forth here, deserving of accolade. Perhaps it counsels us to emulate it, to survive even the dreariest of times. Without words, the humble and forgotten onion speaks volumes with its one quiet utterance of green.
