Sunday Yard Work

Been helping R clean up the yard and getting things ready for Spring. The hostas and other plants are coming up like crazy, reminding me that this place will soon be overrun with vegetation in a month, unless I take steps now to control it. I’ve already got herbs and other plants growing wild in places they’re not meant to be — case in point: I’ve got oregano decorative sage growing in the middle of my lawn. It makes for some pretty nice-smelling ground cover, that’s for sure. I was able to take some pics this morning. I’ll try to get more up later:
These are the hostas that will soon grow to 4′ in width. Anybody want some of them?

We finally dug out all the white lattice trellises and replaced them with something definitely more cemetery-esque. I can’t wait to see what they’ll look like, crawling with vegetation.

R and the cats were rolling their eyes while I ran around taking pictures of everything.

About This Site

As a guy who occasionally curates art shows and wrangles artists together, I often have to edit and post artist bios, profile pictures, and artwork images. This can be a problem, since many artists and writers aren’t used to selling themselves. Artists rarely know how to present their art for display in a brochure, and writers aren’t used to writing about themselves.

Writers often treat the bio like it’s an interview or something. Maybe like they’re having a conversation with you, the reader. While it may work sometimes, the most common way to write a bio is to write in the 3rd person.

I’m like those writers, and I’m talking to you directly, unlike the common way to do a bio. You should see my About page. It makes sense to me, since this is a bit which describes my blog’s website. When I get famous enough that I don’t have time to talk to you, I’ll have an intern write everything in 3rd person. Until then, you get to talk to me.

Like blogs of old, this one is a personal document of the comings and goings of me. Articles I’ve written, links I’ve posted, videos I liked, etc. Here, a first-person perspective is the way to go, at least for now. So, this is my site. I’m D. H. McKee, a sometimes artist, sometimes writer. Mostly just a guy on the internet.
