Imaging George Apple singing this ditty like Data on Star Trek
Oh … I have a little pumpkin
Let’s say I’ve named him Clyde
I want him for dessert
perhaps a pumpkin pie
But Clyde he just keeps running
Away from me he hides
Don’t want him for his outsides
But for his plump insides
Chock full of orange stuffing
From purees to magic [...]

Seasonal Colors
Posted in Autumn, Writing on September 30, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Autumn is my favorite time of the year, heralding in pencils, notebook paper, new school clothes and a new set of teachers and friends.

There’s a place I go
Only I know
Where it is
Between Midnight
And Mondays

Blank Paper
My hand is always beckoned
To take a pencil or a pen
And draw, write or just record
Deep feelings, scribbles, amends
Gleaming surface pure and clean
Whisper to my eyes
Sometimes I write my hellos
At other times good-byes
Just when I get that urge
To create symbols of my art
I find if I’m not quick enough
The images depart
A flittering of [...]

You might never think that sugar would need an expiration date on the package, but I assure you, it can and does lose its potency. When it is time to bake anything, make certain your ingredients are the freshest. From eggs (that’s a whole other story) to the extracts, to the baking powder or soda, [...]
Fruits Without Flavor

Aren’t these pretty? That is what i thought too. When I tasted each of them, there was only disappointment inside my mouth up going up to my brain. Only 10% flavor and what’s that about? Why doesn’t our fruit have great flavor anymore? Do you know?
