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.

Investing In Gardening
Day 272: You would think that at my age, I'd have accumulated just about every tool you could possibly use in a garden. From the looks of my garage, you'd think you were right. However, there are a few implements I've either lost or never owned, and an honest-to-goodness edging blade was among the latter until today. I've always edged my sidewalks with a shovel, excusing the scalloped look under the heading of landscape art. I can't honestly say I did an artful job on the front walk, but at least you can see all of it now!
The boots are also new today, but not a first-time purchase. A few weeks ago, I noticed that my right foot felt wet after I'd gone out in the morning to deliver goodies to the crow board. On examination, I discovered a triangular tear in my kiddy fireman's boots. Duct tape didn't hold, and a second crack developed across the instep. I guess the rubber just got old. Listed as "dairy boots," these don't have a cute insignia, but they'll keep my feet dry.
