365Caws is now in its 16th year of publication. If I am unable to post daily, I hope readers who love the natural world and fiberarts will seize those days to read the older material. Remember that this has been my journey as well, so you may find errors in my identifications of plants. I have tried to correct them as I discover them. Likewise, I have refined fiberarts techniques and have adjusted recipes, so search by tags to find the most current information. And thank you for following me!

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!
