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 one big difference with housing costs here (as opposed to most other parts of the country) is our heating and cooling costs are virtually non-existent

dyk I cannot imagine what it would cost to keep that house cool, but it probably would be equivalent to about what we pay monthly for a large chunk of mortgage

DYK if it makes you feel any better, 75% of your list you just made about your day with Abi fits my typical day with Eric.

DYK it kind of scared me to make that realization.

dyk okay, my allergist called me back -- she called their cardiology office ahead of me, checked on referral (non needed) and appt openings and told me who to ask for

dyk Abigail is being seen Thursday at 10am -- that's the same time she would've been getting the EKG and Echo-doppler at our local non-kid-specialty hospital and the same time my mom is having her lumpectomy.

dyk big day.

dyk regarding pizza: I have grown to enjoy the gluten free pizza crusts that I make

dyk in the beginning it just didn't cut it -- but I stuck with it and now it's ok

dyk and I don't mind not eating pizza as often now --

dyk my mom will be here any minute and I am off to my nurse meeting with my friend Jen.

dyk she worked her last 12 hour night shift (of 5 in a row) last night and was still keyed up over some issues with patients when I talked to her at 9:30am -- she was headed to take a nap

dyk so she'll be at the meeting on about 3 hours of sleep

dyk we'll be quite the pair for sure!

Dyk I don't know anything about heart murmurs. What's the main concern about having one?

dyk a heart murmur can be something or nothing

dyk something -- defect, damaged valve, build up, infection, hole

dyk nothing -- thick wall, high blood pressure (would be treated) anemia (medicated) or just an interesting sound
