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 I, too, wish a speedy and full recovery for her

dyk and hugs to you

dyk I swallowed my heart attack, and finished the appt

dyk and on the way home, I called our ped, filled in the nurse and they said come in and someone would see her

dyk so we got sonic, I scarfed down 1/2 a sonic blast and mozz sticks and a route 44 drink and set a land speed record driving 85 miles back down to the pediatricians office

dyk the P.A. listened confirmed, doc ordered an EKG and a Echo-doppler

dyk the PA described it as loud, scoured her chart -- there's no mention of a murmur -- ever.

dyk we are going to cancel the labs at our local hospital and get a referrel for them up at Texas Children's Hospital in Houston

dyk I thought the New Girl was pretty cute too

dyk it's in the DVR

dyk I just opted for Terra Nova over the Sing Off -- I can catch the Sing Off in repeats but Terra Nove is sci-fi and Sean will enjoy it and watch it with me.

dyk we have never let our kids cry it out

dyk we snuggle them and love on them and coddle them as babies and they grow out of wanting all of that long before we are ready to stop!

dyk Ellie went through a period where she was up every hour -- after 3 weeks of that and Abi with her insomnia -- I was so wrung out that friends were organizing dinners for us 4 times a week

dyk now she wakes up MAX 2 times -- she's SO BUSY duyring the day that I cannot get her to eat more solids -- I try, she turns her head, clenches her teeth, shakes her head, pushes it awy

dyk usually she wants a bottle at 4am

dyk SOMETIMES she takes one at 11pm, too, but we're about to go to bed so that's an easy one
