Thinking Blogger Awards--

Thinking Blogger Award-- Deborah A. chose me (yeah! thank you) as one of her thinking bloggers and with that, I am now to choose 5 others. (If you are chosen, you can go here to read more about the Thinking Blogger Award & choose your top favorites...)

Jeannine Hall Gailey-- Jeannine's blog is always full of poetry information, news, (all with links!) and book reviews along with honest comments about her life (poetry and otherwise) as it happens. Like a box of chocolates-- you never know what you're gonna get!

Peter Pereira-- Peter's blog always has some new interesting word and definition along with just treats for inspiration like an image from the Seattle Asian Art Museum or notes from his garden. Upbeat and appreciated.

Cornshake's blog: This supersecret blog offers great links to you-never-know-what!, captured conversations (the me/madre conversations always leave me smiling), photos of a very special dog in outfits, and is just a happy welcoming place to visit.

Joanie Stangeland: Joannine's blog is a newer blog I wandered onto this year that explores the poetry life and process and asks questions directly to its readers. Always a treat to read.

Mary Biddinger: Mary's blog is a favorite because she always has great visual photos along with words. I'm always inspired to see what she's up to and she just started a new literary journal! Now how great is that?
