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'm beginning to think it's the treadmill, not me

dyk, this is the that is always broken, I think it's the speed thingy

dyk, it's not changing speeds, but the speed isn't steady

dyk, I thought I was crazy when I was running, but I can tell walking too

dyk, I think the timing might also be off

dyk, the only reason I'm on this TM is because my normal one is broken, the sound/tv doesn't work on my old favorite, and someone pulled the emergency stop on my back-up

dyk, there are only 4 of these particular TM's and they are tge only ones I really like

dyk, I'm so picky

dyk lol -- about skipping the posts

dyk Abi and Dek didn't want to get out of bed this morning --

dyk very telling as we sent Dek to bed at 6:15pm last night (after the pepperoni scraping incident) so he got 13 hours sleep and prob would have slept more -- he was OUT when I woke him up at 7:10 since I know he needs at least 20 minutes to get ready

dyk Abi did well with a short acting (also QUICK acting) dose of her medicine this morning in addition to her normal XR

dyk it took about 4 minutes to kick in and then she went from lollying around on my floor moaning (literally) to perked up and able to get herself appropriately dressed shirt, pants AND shoes (y'all know how big that is)

dyk she still had a moments struggle with breakfast -- if you ask her what she wants... well just don't b/c she will take about half an hour to decide, and given two choices she will do an AND... she really never just answers a question or makes a SOLID difinitive decision

dyk you could have told them that -- but people do NOT listen, they have to experience the failure for themselves

dyk society, us as a whole, we no longer value the wisdom of those that have come before us, we are so self important and ego inflated we are just sure we can do it better, faster, cheaper

dyk oh and Abi at the LAST SECOND when she realized her zipper wasn't going to work on her light jacket (cold classroom) started to try and go "pick another one" and we know how that goes

dyk so I nabbed her as she tried to run back to her room and literally shoved her out the door and shut it behind her

dyk I could hear Sean laughing on the other side....

dyk and one is all perky and done up and already working and she sympathizes with the dowdy one who is "STILL" in school and STILL working the part time job at the corner store...
