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.

Really Big Snakes
Day 139: Serving as a Site Steward for a property accessed via an out-of-the-way rural road is always an adventure. In the years I've been patrolling Ohop Valley, I've come up with a number of unusual finds: a hardhat, two pickup loads of hydroton pellets (used in hydroponic agriculture), rolls of carpet padding, a sodden blanket, several elk carcases, an entire car bumper, and of course a selection of the more commonly dumped items like old lumber, television sets, a child's car seat, clothing and the ever-popular assortment of dead tires. Today's score included two short lengths of plastic pipe and two which were about twenty feet long...a pair of really big "snakes" I had a hard time wrestling into the little building where we store trash for later pickup.
