Very luckily, early in my blogging life, I discovered Inky's poetry blogging site, Inky's Poems. She has four other blogs as well: Inky's family, down home Recipes, Inkys part of the rock, and My love of dance and The performing Arts ).
I can barely keep up with only one blog but I follow each of hers with much delight. When I had the opportunity to issue the challenge, I was happy that she responded, in spite of the busy holiday season. She shared this information with me.
