Creating usable website solutions
Word spread quickly in our southeast Michigan birding community when the Yellow-crowned Night Heron was reported at a popular birding spot in Washtenaw County.
By the time I arrived in the evening, just before dusk, more than two dozen birders and photographers had already posted their sighting of the medium-sized heron.
What was everyone excited about? Continue reading Photo of the Week: Yellow-crowned Night Heron
I didn’t know the backstory behind the house in downtown Plymouth, Michigan, but the pink colored house sure caught my attention as I traveled into the downtown area.
With the handwritten bright pink “Picasso Was Here!“ sign on the front lawn, you can’t miss the house on Ann Arbor Trail, a couple blocks east of Kellogg Park.
Based on my years living in and around the Plymouth area, I can tell you downtown Plymouth is pretty conservative with house colors.
Which had me wondering, who paints a house bright pink?
And then adds black polka dots on the pink paint?
Well, from what I learned in a January 2020 Hometown Life story, the homeowner is waiting for approval from the city of Plymouth for a land use change.
Which would allow the homeowner to demolish the current building and build out a new two-story building in its place
And for some reason, while the process takes time, the homeowner chose to paint half the house a bright pink color.
If you’re in the Plymouth area, have you stopped by to see the Picasso Was Here! house?
When I saw the tall, elegant Bearded Iris in bloom in my garden, I was thrilled!
The irises were a gift two years ago from a longtime friend, and now client, when I took on an emergency website project.
I love irises and had some in my garden years ago. Sadly, the iris borer caused major issues and I eventually dug the irises out.
When I planted the irises two years ago, I couldn’t wait to see them in bloom.
But they didn’t bloom last year. And I moved them to a new location last fall.
Based on their blooming this spring, I guess the irises liked their new location!
