DYK- September Days Are Here

Helen Hunt Jackson- September Poem
The goldenrod is yellow,
The corn is turning brown,
The trees in apple orchards
With fruit are bending down;
The gentian’s bluest fringes
Are curling in the sun;
In dusty pods the milkweed
Its hidden silk has spun;
The sedges flaunt their harvest
In every meadow nook,
And asters by the brookside
Make asters in the brook;
From dewy lanes at morning
The grapes’ sweet odors rise;
At noon the roads all flutter
With yellow butterflies–
By all these lovely tokens
September days are here,
With summer’s best of weather
And autumn’s best of cheer.

dyk and I'm still plugging thru the 800+ posts that I haven't read for the past 2 weeks
dyk I'm under 600 behind now
dyk I could easily live without meat, I think
dyk but I couldn't replace it with fish because I don't like enough types and the ones I do are the pricey ones
dyk and I don't think peanut butter, nuts and cheese are the best sole sources of protein
dyk I'm sure my posting to old posts is getting annoying
dyk but there's no way a recap to 880+ would have worked
dyk so glad to hear that Abi will qualify for the program
dyk good luck with the transportation
dyk it may even be resolved before I get to the end of
DYK I'm glad to hear that he's (mostly) okay.

dyk the school nurse is a registered nurse -- as in completed graduated nursing school
dyk LOL My mom heard that (edited) and said that I have been like that since before I could talk -- I just did it with a "look"
dyk earlier this year, my dad wanted to go another couple rounds with me over this stupid lawyer he overpaid for to handle my student loans that got sold, changed, unconsolidated... etc etc
dyk and so we were in the kitchen and he was saying how I owed him (he paid the lawyer with me vehemently rejecting the idea) 1/2 the lawyer's fees
dyk I let him say his peace, waiting, listening quietly and my mom and Sean were in the kitchen with us
dyk when he was done, I sucked in a deep breath
dyk and my mom disappeared out the front door and Sean darted out to the garage
dyk LOL and then I said what I had to say and I've not heard one bit about that stupid lawyer since
dyk ah, the good old days
dyk and with facebook being all jacked up -- I can't even get to any recent posts and see what my friends are up to -- I went to texting everyone while waiting at the docs office
dyk and now you all are stuck with me
dyk we were on a brief hiatus as our OT switched from 2 towns over to the hospital that I can see from my front yard
dyk still had to drive b/c I had to get Abi, drop off a babysitter's money, then go to the hsopital, ge tup to the 5th floor, entertain Ellie (OMG) for an hour, then drive down, run by the house to go potty, grab a drink, hit the bus stop and now we're home
dyk we eat pork chops, bacon, turkey, ground beef, venison, I've had alligator, rabbit but never snake -- no opportunity
dyk I'd eat just about any meat you put in front of me
dyk the other day I was eating turkey sausage and Sean came in and asked me what I was eating--
dyk just to be snarky I said, "Duck sausage"
dyk there are some of you that are lost and some of you that are snickering
dyk Sean snickered.
