As a retired lettering artist and illustrator, I still create a lot of visuals and have fun doing it. My website is a place I can post and share them from my Shoreline, Washington studio in my home.

Newcomers: Three Feathered Babies

November 23, 2025

Did I need a deep plunge into a new blog site, right when such a time-consuming challenge really didn’t fit into my crowded calendar? The answer, no surprise, is “no” but at least I was able to navigate the mind-befuddling process of transferring the data from my old platform to this new, AI-enhanced version of good ol’ WordPress. My previous experience of working on good ol’ WordPress wasn’t stellar, so I’m hoping to improve my relationship with it asap. So far I have been able to upload my seasonally appropriate squash painting! But now, HOW do I get rid of “Hello World!” which was placed there by Good Ol. I’m not sure about this, but I think Good Ol’s default tips will stay on this, my First Post until I figure out how to discretely remove them without being told “This is not a good idea.” At least I got my squash up on this new site for your viewing pleasure! Happy Thanksgiving :-).

They're here! Yesterday I ventured out to a breeder's farm in Granite Falls, accompanied by friend Marilyn, and took away two show-quality Ameraucana chicks and one Welsummer chick. There's no guarantee that they will be hens, so time will tell. It's likely that the Welsummer is a female because of her specific eyeline marking and more defined cap of brown feathers. They are currently very happy in their brooder box in the greenhouse. Today I'll be back at work on their coop :-).
