Happy Sunday, to all in the blogging world! Hope everyone’s having a glorious weekend. It’s been pouring here the entire weekend and the sun’s barely come out. More time to read and write and enjoy some hot coffee in cool weather.
So here’s our word for the day – “antediluvian”. Write a post using the day’s prompt and share it on the official ragtag community page below.
