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 now at home, I talked to my other ladies from ladies group (that I was doing childcare for) and we have determined they don't need me

dyk which is great -- the other girls have a handle on it and so I said I will remain on reserve and any time there are going to be overflowed or one of the other girls can't make it or is sick, etc, I will fill in

dyk we all think this is a great plan!

dyk oh, do you guys remember my friend Jessia?

dyk she is married to one of Sean's oldest friends, two years ago sought refuge from him after he hit her (while pregnant with their 4th)?? but kept going back

dyk she left again, without the kids, then was back, then bounced a bit

dyk she has finally, finally, made it out of the situation!! With all 4 kids and they are doing SO WELL

dyk she has been living under protective custody of the state in a family group home (a shelter) for about 4 mos now and has been through the counseling, the financial programs, etc, and any day now her and the kids move into their own furnished rent paid apt thru the program she qualified for

dyk it's VERY exciting -- she did counsling twice a week and became catholic in the last year and REALLY worked her butt off to set up a support network

dyk I am so proud of her and relieved for her and happy for her

dyk I do not wish marriages to end, but he was abusing her and it had become dangerous and she extracated herself on her own -- very empowering given her past and she broke so many generational curses and is setting things up very nicely for her kids

dyk when I saw them when we were doing dino park, etc, she looked GREAT and the kids were happy and excited and ate well, played well, it was wonderful

dyk that is certainly the answer to the prayers of many!!

dyk I'm sure you're one of those in her support network

dyk and the fact she did it on her own is so huge in making it work

dyk Praise God!

dyk BTW being crossed off the list is like a major insult at our house

dyk the kids write your name on paper with other names and when they are done with you or mad they put a BIG HUGE black X on your name

dyk I sometimes wake up to a sheet of paper taped to my door that has DEK or ABI written on it and they are X'd hahah
