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.

Mice In My Mail
Day 122: "Love to eat them mousies! Mousies what I love to eat. Bite they little heads off, Nibble on they tiny feet!" The artwork was one of Kliban's stylized striped cats playing a banjo, if memory serves me correctly (it didn't...it was a guitar), and the creator's whimsical words have stood the test of time in my memory. They were on a checkbook cover I owned some 30-35 years ago, and sprang back into mind as soon as I opened the box today. It came from one of my best friends who just happens to go by the nickname Mousie. Trust me, I will have no compunctions whatsoever about biting they little heads off, but I think the tails (satin cord) are a bit thick to use as dental floss after.
