365Caws is now in its 14th year of publication, and was originally intended to end after 365 days. It has sometimes been difficult for me to find new material, particularly during the winter months, but now as I enter my own twilight years, I cannot guarantee that I will be able to provide daily posts. It is my hope that along the way I may have inspired someone to a greater curiosity about the natural world. If so, I can rest, content in the knowledge that my work here has been done.

Merry The Weaver
Day 250: Okay, I know I said I wasn't going to bury my readers in kitten pictures, but how could I possibly resist posting this one? Merry helped weave that rag rug he's sitting on, and by "help," I mean that he made sure the warp came off the roller evenly by inserting himself beneath it, checked the underside of the cloth to be sure I hadn't left any floats, and when I cut the first two rugs off (there's only so much space between the cloth roller and the table), he assisted in testing the knots when I retied the warp ends. 8/4 rug warp withstands a three-pound kitten walking gingerly across the web of threads or using them as a hammock. The fun of weaving has taken on a whole new dimension with my little helper's participation.
