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.

Purple Vegetable Beauty

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 :-).

In this day of excessive communications (blogs, Twitter, Facebook & so on) it's easy to give in to the temptation of sharing the insignificant. I'm not immune to this, evidently. I was at Puget Consumers Coop in Edmonds today, specifically to buy organic, locally-grown veggies. In my view, there's no better place for these than PCC. Beets were on my list, as was cauliflower. I had never heard of purple savoy cabbage, but I took one look at it and put it in the cart. The "cylinder beets" were so marvelous that I decided then and there to take the purple veggies' portrait and post it here. Take a look. Don't you feel healthier already?!
