Roses


It’s been a busy week. Definitely paying with muscles for all the moving mulch, raking compost, and planting drought tolerant herbs. The roses are LOVING it. Anyone else feel like the weather this year leaves one guessing? Thankfully herbs are easy to grow. Like you don’t even know what questions to ask to find the answer? Feels human. We should all strive to ask better questions.  

Finishing the new website, finally getting to use some AI thumbnails to overhaul the product service pages. Hopefully people will enjoy it, the backlinks to older works like Instructable tutorials and YouTube videos remain for nerdy fashion people who want to see how the sausage is made. Ten to fifteen years ago, it was crisp, clear pictures of your retail venue for customers to get an idea of what to expect when they visited your store...still works today with the Google and makes money. Five to ten years ago, it was editorial photos on Facebook and Instagram which did not make money. Then video for COVID, mixed. Now, it feels like AI thumbnails and LLM text. A major problem with AI is NONE of us got that promised $2,000 check in January. We have to be soberminded when using AI. The search engines really like it, but take stuff in-person for sales. Actual people prefer reality. A paradox.

Thankfully there’s tons of great live events and conferences. Have a great week all. May you be blessed this week.
