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 there's never a dull moment with you or your family, is there?!

DYK on the 9/11 thing, I'm wondering if she overheard it from other kids.

dyk I am in charge of food again for ladies retreat

dyk buit I am going to pass it off

dyk it's involved this year since so little is included in the "location" catering and it's BYOsnacks to share and doing a box meal from subway and then eating OUT in north houston on Saturday

dyk so I get to organize all that and then I can't EAT any of it

dyk I don't even want to go

dyk I would rather gather up 3 ladies, split adjoining double rooms, eat out together and walk and talk on the sea wall in Galveston

dyuk kathy/molly? lol That made me lol

dyk Abi may have overheard other kids -- I don't know.

dyk yeah the lock down is a sad thing, Dek had all the details and this boy G in his class was TALKING thru it -- I quote, "Can you believe it, mom? He's going to give away our location."

dyk or maybe I'll just go eat chocolate and sleep on Karri's couch

dyk but I don't want to plan the ladies retreat

dyk and I may have bitten off more than I can chew with ladies group ministry as well.

dyk I am not that actively involved but I am feeling overwhelmed already

dyk I get my lists done every day -- but that's all it it -- checking details and medicines and errands off a list
