I really don’t know why I can’t get myself to catch up on my blog posting. The thing is that I love to look back on my travel posts, and I frequently refer to my search and category functions when I don’t remember a date or a name. You would think that with all the…

I’m beginning the transition to Substack for my blog posts, so if you are interested in my personal life, read or subscribe to my newsletter there at https://slowlysheturned.substack.com/. Mainly these will be my more personal journal entries, as I work over the next few months to make this site a more professional artist site. Archives…

^^^My favorite flowers are multiplying well. I dislike this new WP block editing mess. I have fooled around with pressing different buttons and got the text editor bar to appear, but I’m not sure that I could find it again. It is under Options/Visual Editor/Block and I unclicked all the buttons except Classic. Now I…

I’ve distracted myself from the distress of the U.S. Election by spending a lot of time updating my blog from years ago – going through each post quickly to find photos that are hosted on Flickr, downloading them, and uploading them to WordPress and changing the link.

January was a busy month and February will be too, so you’re unlikely to see a lot from me. As far as this blog goes, I am, perhaps unduly, concerned about hosting my photos on Flickr. For one thing, they doubled their price since selling it, and for the other, their automation sends me erroneous…

I looked at the ads that appeared on this site this morning. UGH. Not acceptable. And I don’t want that jerk who bought my domain name with dot com to buy this one. So I caved. I have upgraded the site. Over and out.

Suddenly I feel like Miss Piggy today. Couldn’t tell you why. A lot of things have happened since I last posted. I stopped paying to have my blog ad-free and the ads are pretty disgusting, so I may break down and upgrade to a paid account. I hate to do it, because between that and…

Next week I’m taking a staycation and I have a lot of projects in mind and a couple of events to attend, including seeing Gordon Lightfoot in concert at the Carolina Theater in Greensboro – a great venue for a great artist. Today, I’m considering my priorities in what I want to accomplish and what…
