Friends,
I am so embarrassed to have left out SummerWords in yesterday’s blog post! Forgive me! Especially since the amazing Rita Dove is the SummerWords Keynote! So, let’s try this all again:
Spring is definitely in the air! The birds are chirping, the bees are buzzing en masse around my lemon tree and its buds, and the days are lengthening, filling me with energy to write! I hope you, too, are feeling the call of your own words.
