Okey dokes. All caught up on posts, and I have all the poetry prompts bookmarked so I can find them when I get back (why do I neglect the bookmark tool?). Now it is time to put out more garbage and recycling, then have a cup of tea, and do some weekly planning.
Then I'll be back for the prompts.
Then I'll be back for the prompts.
