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!

Finding Lovejoy
Day 76: Comet Lovejoy is coming! I've given a very rough map here, translated from the "Sky & Telescope" version onto a star chart oriented specifically to my latitude, but it will give you an idea of where and when to look for this binocular/naked-eye object. It promises to be a real treat for anyone with a telescope, weather permitting. Get it now, folks! It won't be back for approximately 8,000 years!
