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 wow that airport sounds creepy.

Dyk I'm great at navigating American airports. I'm not so sure how I'd do in foreign airports.

DYK Destiny, I cannot even begin to imagine trying to absorb all of that information about your mom!

DYK please keep us updated on things.

dyk okay, here's how it went down:

the allergist checked her out, meds are working, great, she took a culture of the wierd "rashiness" on her arm that we've been nursing for 3 weeks with no change, and then was listening to her heart

dyk she turned to me and said with a quizzical look, "Remind me again about her heart murmur."

dyk all the blood drained out of my face and I just looked at her in surprise

dyk she said, "She has a heart murmur."

dyk I'm still speechless.

dyk so she checked and rechecked, hooked her up to pulse ox machine (97% that was fine) added a few labs (all beautiful -- nothing out of whack or low) and then listened again

dyk she said it's "loud" and though it's not her specialty, we needed to loop in our pediatrician and get a cardiologist
