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.

Down Among The Pumpkinheads
Day 339: Hurray! It's time for county fairs, grange displays and the grand weigh-in of pumpkins! Oh, these are just babies compared to the ones which will take the prizes, but nevertheless, any one of them would fill a wheelbarrow, leaving only a few gaps to stuff with ears of late-season corn. Farmers' fields are full of orange giants, but the behemoths have been trucked off to their respective places of honor. A fifty-pound pumpkin won't even take an Honorable Mention when competing against a thousand pound squash suitable for Cinderella's carriage. Stay tuned, because the Washington State Fair opened today!
