PROGRAMMING NOTE from the Author and Archivist


So obviously I just stopped blogging on this platform. I'll get back to it eventually. Or not. I'm taking a break from all social media. It seemed necessary for my mental health.

The last few years have been busy and … challenging:

- 2015 Happened.
- 2016 Let's call it The Lost Year. (Obviously words failed me.)
- 2017 about broke me. Literally. Mentally.
- 2018 was ridiculous, proving 2017 was just a warm up. (Good thing I was already broken so it couldn't hurt as much.#2018TrashCanFire I thought things were going okay, but maybe not?)

- 2019 was such a blur. I know there were highlights, but then stuff happened and carried into the next year...

- And then in March#2020 really took a turn. Who can even categorize 2020? Do we dare?


I kinda want a do-over of some of the last few years. But life doesn’t work that way.


So for now, I'm hunkering down. Regrouping. Trying to stay safe and sort some stuff out.


Stay safe everyone. Stay well.

Laughing at the LDS Lilies

Auntie Nettie took a nature walk recently and stumbled across these markers in a daylily grove. Although the thermometer read 70 degrees, the calendar read mid-November, so there were no "blooms on the rose," so to speak.
My fellow walker wasn't sure why the odd Mormon girl was laughing at these* (I guess it's one of those LDS things ...).

Luckily, the Interblogs and Webbynets are good for research, so I could see what the Spider and Soldier looked like in plant form.

Thanks to OgdenStationdaylilies.com for this image of the Mormon Spider,
and to these guys (here) for the image of Helaman.

*I suppose I could send a pair of young men in suits and nametags to her door to explain the whole LDS humor thing to her ...
