Wordless Wednesday: Hi!
A little birdie told me this morning that it was past time for me to commit a random act of blogging. Happy Wednesday, y’all.
“Is that weird beastie in my yard a mole, vole, or gopher?”
While swinging on the swing set one blissful afternoon, The Twelve-Year-Old noticed a furry beast with a rather fine set of long yellow teeth staring at her from his burrow. Naturally she wanted to know what was watching her. “Mommyo is that weird beastie a mole, vole, or gopher?”
Wordless Wednesday: Obligatory lizard post
It wouldn’t be summer if we didn’t post at least one lizard pic here on Caterpickles. With school starting this week, we cut it a bit close this year.
Wordless Wednesday: Scenes from Aspen
My husband and I will have been married for 20 years this summer. We celebrated by taking our family’s first trip to Aspen. Here are a few of my favorite photos from the trip.
The book that has my 12-year-old bubbling over with joy this week

Wordless Wednesday: Trouble in two ears
My cat has just discovered that the chair I usually sit in at the kitchen table is perfect for him, so now I will never be allowed to sit in it again.

My cat is doing his very best to convince me to take the day off today.

News broke this week that paleontologists have determined that a set of bones found in Big Bend back in the 1980s is actually a hitherto unknown type of duck-billed dinosaur. Whenever I hear of a new species, I can’t help but wonder how long that new species identification will last.
Wordless Wednesday: Oleander
It’s just a glorious time of year for flowering plants in California. Google tells me this one is oleander.
A selection of vintage Ford cars
Earlier this summer, we happened across a line of vintage cars parked on a street next to a town festival in Northern California. Naturally, I took pictures. Here’s a selection of vintage Ford motor cars from that show.
