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.

Solver Of Problems
Day 21: Among other things, the Hindu deity Ganesh is known as a remover of obstacles and problem solver. My mother revered him highly, and when she passed away, I kept a selection of her representations of him and, in her honour, occasionally offer him flowers or incense. While I do not believe in a higher power of any sort, it never hurts to hedge your bets. I set up a temporary shrine yesterday, brought in one of the last snapdragon spikes although it was covered with a film of ice, lit a cube of pine incense and placed it in an antique burner before him. Ganesh, your intervention is greatly needed on this day.
