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!

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.
