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.

Today, Everybody's Irish
Day 166: Oxalis is frequently sold at this time of year under the name of "Shamrock," but true shamrocks are a type of clover. Likewise, the "traditional" American dinner of St. Paddy's Day corned beef and cabbage is about as Irish as pierogi or lasagna. But what do we care? On St. Patrick's Day, everybody's Irish...even auld crusty Scots like me. Have a happy St. Pat's!
