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!

Dainty Drops
Day 141: I've shared this old and clever meteorological aphorism several times previously, but on a blustery, wet day like today, it bears repeating:
Whether the weather be cold
Or whether the weather be hot,
We'll weather the weather
Whatever the weather
Whether we like it or not.
The Snowdrops seem to epitomize the verse, their clear white heads bowed but cheerful, hunkered down to endure whatever Mother Nature dishes out. It's advice we can interpret to fit any situation in our lives. You might think Ma gave us Spring for just that reason: a reminder that all winters come to an end, that all things go in cycles. Oh, to be a Snowdrop and have the wisdom of the plants!
