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.

Big Hips
Day 343: Rugosa Rose won't mind at all if you tell her she has big hips, and believe me, they're enormous. They're also rich in vitamin C and can be used to make fragrant tea, syrup, jelly, marmalade or even wine, but be sure to use only the outer rind. The fine hairs found inside the fruit can cause an itchy irritation of the digestive tract if ingested in sufficient quantity. Rose hips may also be dried and used in potpourri.
