these weird stone balls!
Thanks to a most generous email I received from a reader (thx KDH!), who happens to be both familiar and educated re/ the geology of this part of Wyoming, I can share the fact of these stones.
These petrified spherical balls are called Dahlites, they are concretions of the mineral apatite, and they are 100 - 150 million years old. D.A.N.G. It feels amazing to hold something that’s been around that long….
By the way - if you happened to win any of the petrified bones I was giving away earlier this year, those are dinosaur bones!!!! Roughly 150 million years old.
Now that we’ve had our science lesson, let’s switch to english. Title this photo, won’t you?

Chloe’s ears flying made me think of The Flying Nun. Then I imagined a TV announcer: New this fall, the event of the season, a crime series featuring The Flying Nun and Magnum P.I.! Together, the canine duo inspire each other to solve crimes and defend us from evil! So, title this: The Flying Nun and Magnum P.I.

“Ally Ally In-Come Free!”
From childhood games of hide-and-seek. We’d earnestly skulk about until someone was tagged ‘it’. Then the cry of “ally ally in-come free!” would ring out and we’d all *race* flat-out, as fast as we could, back to ‘home’ (usually a tree). Then the game would start again. It was play and movement just for the pure joy of it.
I love caption Mondays! I’m not very good at it but I love reading what people come up with.

Wow.
Not a suggestion (not inspired tonight, sorry), but a comment: this is a nice picture. No, “nice” does not do it justice.
It’s a *wonderful* picture, a happy picture… Joy from these two is oozing out of my LCD monitor. We need more of those, Shreve. That’s a definite photographical (sp?) masterpiece, in my books.

More answers to your cork quandries.
If I recall from a decade or two or three ago…there was a period where there were cork shortages, because of the long time it takes for cork trees to age. Shortly thereafter they started shortening the length of corks from 2 inches to either 1.75 or 1.5 inches to save. Then alternatives were developed such as plastic, screw tops and even wine in a box. There’s actually a collapsing bag inside the box much like those baby bottles. The wine isn’t half bad in that the bag prevents the air from getting at the wine. I’m not a wine drinker so it all tastes pretty much the same to me.
You can still find corks in better wines, but because of the expense of corks the cheaper wines will use lower costs alternatives such as plastic, screw tops, etc. You’ll find corks in $15 and $20 dollar bottles but not so much in 2 buck Chuck.
Two advantages to a plastic cork is that you don’t have to worry about a bad cork contaminating the bottle and you can store the bottle upright.
It takes 25 years for a cork tree to mature enough to produce corks, Trees live 200-300 years. The layer of cork is harvested once a decade. The demand for wine corks is growing by about 7% per year. Cork trees are reforested at about 4% a year. So my guess is that it’s a matter of money. Real corks are just more expensive. And the alternatives are getting better and better.
BTW cork flooring can be made from recycled or shredded cork whereas wine corks have to be made from a solid piece of cork, although a new composite cork is being used now in addition to the cheaper alternatives.

Regarding corks: I have a cousin everyone called Corky when we were growing up. He was and is the sweetest thing. Don’t know where this nickname came from. Never thought to ask, but now I will. His real name is Charlie. Lots of Charleses in the family, including both grandpas, uncle, brother, and a very favorite doggie boy.

Home are the hunters, home from the hills.
That’s a paraphrase from one of my favorite poems by RL Stevenson:
UNDER the wide and starry sky,
Dig the grave and let me lie.
Glad did I live and gladly die,
And I laid me down with a will.
This be the verse you grave for me:
Here he lies where he longed to be;
Home is the sailor, home from the sea,
And the hunter home from the hill.

I haven’t read all the comments, so don’t know if anyone has mentioned this, but I think you missed naming your own photo “Technicolor Spring”, which has a double meaning in that it is spring, but both Chloe & Charlie have a spring in their step!
I’ll also suggest “She’s Showing Him A Big Wide World, Full of Adventure”.
(I live in the UK, and whilst I would die to have those “weird stone balls” [ I LOVE rocks!! ], it might be a bit spendy to send those here! lol)
I’ve been “reading” your blog for awhile now (over a year or so now I think) and absolutely adore it. I love your photos, and the snippets of the story of your life with Charlie and Chloe and Eli. And I hope to get your book too!!
Noticed you are not feeling well, so I do hope you get better soon!
