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.

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.
