Monday, Monday

It's your friendly neighborhood Songbird, taking on the round-up for Mondays, in concert with Pink Shoes. We're trying a few new things on the blog, and these divided round-ups three times a week are among them. Look for round-ups on Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays. Tuesdays we will have a lectionary prompt; Thursdays will be for introductions and profiles of ring members; Fridays will still feature a meme, but I will be sharing that duty with reverendmother when she returns from maternity leave.

Now, on to the ring!
