Corndogs on China

At our house there are usually three types of eatingware: paper plates for eating outside and those times when there are no clean dishes in the cupboards. The everyday dishes for well, most everyday. And the fancy dishes that come out about once a year from the boxes they are stored in. I usually make a nice dinner about this time of year and pull out the China from the said boxes in the rarely used highest cupboard. Last week I put dinner in the crockpot, set the table then left for a few hours. Little did I know that I turned the knob to "Off" on the crockpot instead of "Low. I came home to a not very cooked dinner and five hungry people waiting for their dinner. The fastest thing I could think of to cook was corndogs (which I don't really like to buy, but sometimes four year olds are so convincing when you are shopping. Especially the picky ones). So, there you have it, corndogs on China.

Fall comes

leaves on trees begin to turn,

then like a huge gust of wind

it's cold, rainy and gray.

Fall comes again

after the storm

even more brilliant than the first time.

Bright red, yellow and orange burst

from trees.

The sky is so blue, the bluest crayon

couldn't add more color.



There is something I like about every season, but I think there are more things a like about fall. In my opinion it is very near to perfect.
