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.

Chicken Treat Ball

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 :-).

What to do to keep chickens entertained, fed, and exercised? Buy a cat feeding ball, of course! Chickens who spend a lot of time in confinement need stimulation and toys (well, pampered suburban chickens do, anyway). So, I bought a feeding ball designed for obese cats, or ones who wolf their food down. Adjustable and rugged, this ball is filled with mixed seeds and grains. Vita, Bess and Cinnamon wasted no time in learning to bat it around so that it would release food that is not part of their daily chicken feed.
