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.

Nothing Cuter Than Piggies
Day 343: What is it about little piggies that makes them so endearing? I don't know, but I am one of the thousands of people who think piglets are an essential part of any county or state fair. Yep, it's time to "do the Puyallup" again, and because I'm working in the Park booth, I get in early and can get up close to the pig pens before the mobs arrive. Piggy popularity has been so high that Fair officials have installed a closed-circuit TV to provide viewing for people who lack the sharp elbows and steel-toed boots otherwise necessary to get a position at the fence, and more squealing and grunting comes from the crush of visitors than from the pigs themselves.
