Summer Foods Haiku

You know what's awesome about summer? The food. Yeah, that's right . . . the food. I know that summer contains a plethora of fantabulous things, but the food (fruits and veggies to be specific) is really spectacular.

I realized this while I was cutting up some delicious watermelon for dinner one night. The color of the fruit was so beautiful, I had to take a picture of it. As I was cutting it, I looked over and thought to myself, "Pam, that looks like summer, " hence, the subsequent photo opportunity.

I never get tired of the corn on the cob, berries and melon. Last week, I inhaled a bag of cherries almost all by myself. Troy was able to sneak a few without having any limbs severed . . . but just barely. We had pancakes this week with fresh blueberries. I can't be sure, but I may have chewed with my eyes closed to savor every bite. This morning, I had cantelope that melted in my mouth. I think I am having a relationship with produce.

Therefore, in honor of the delicious treats the good Lord gives us during the summer months, I have written a haiku.

(Ahem)

Cherries, Blueberries,
Melon, Tomatoes, or Corn,
Just can't get Enough

Holiday Coffee Cups

I am currently working on getting my masters in education. I have class every Thursday night from 4:45 to 9:30. Since I go right to class directly from work, it makes for a long day. Because of this, I treat myself to a Dunn Brother's coffee and a yogurt parfait. **Side Note: Those yogurt parfaits are delicious. If you haven't had one, you need to drop what you are doing and get yourself one.**

Today I was feeling rather chipper and thought to myself, "Self, maybe you don't need to get a coffee today, just get that delicious, crack-infested, yogurt parfait." And so that was my plan as I was walked through the sky-ways of Minneapolis. Then, I got to the Dunn Brothers and realized . . . . that the holiday cups were there, just waiting for me to enjoy my coffee with a little cardboard cup of holiday cheer. So, I did what any self-respecting, Christmas-loving, American-consumer would do . . . I bought a cup of coffee. And you know what? It was awesome. Every. Single. Drop.

Anywho, it was a beautiful thing and I love that the Christmas coffee cups are out. And because of my love for them, I have written an haiku:

(ahem)

Christmas coffee cups,
Spreading their holiday cheer,
Who doesn't love that?

Thank you.
