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.

Weather Report from Cinnamon’s Point of View

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 :-).

It's been a while since I posted anything about the chickens. For those who have met them or followed: they are doing famously well. Well, famous may be overstating it. But, given the fact that Cinnamon went through an extreme broody spell, refusing to get out of the nest box as she settled into "hatching" any egg that was laid, thereby subjecting herself to resentful behavior (i.e. pecking) from Vita and Bess, the girls are all on an even keel once more.

Here's a photo of Cinnamon, taken a few days ago, as she sought shelter from the Seattle rain. Shortly after I took the photo, she joined the other two to forage in the downpour after all. Things are looking up, though. The forecast for the upcoming days is looking sunny. We're breaking out the shorts and the chickens are getting ready to bask in the rays!
