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 snapped at her to stop that now when she was screaming at me in her chair and she reached out like she was going to shake her hands all through her food and fling it all over the floor and I snatched her hands up and boy did she give me the stink eye!!

dyk, I seem to have a pattern; 2 great runs, 1 crappy run

dyk, today is so bad I'm now simply walking

dyk, I really wanted to hit 5 miles today

dyk, this means that my first run back from vacation will be great, right?

dyk, that's right, my daily call is BACK to 9:30

dyk, after only 2 days at 9:00 theyvrealized that asking AVPs & VPs to be ready for a 9:00 meeting was pointless

dyk, I could have told them that!
