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.

A Study In Persistence
Day 55: Blooming in spite of a week of hard frosts, Viola persists. That alone should be enough to qualify it for the title "weed." I've tried to eradicate it from my garden, and it goes without saying that I have been unsuccessful in my quest. Still, you have to acknowledge the heroic tenacity of this plant, as if it could echo the words, "Never give up. Never surrender." You'd admire that in a human, so why not give Viola its due?
