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 don't like Uggs, but I bought a pair.
DYK Steve gave me a very generous gift card for my birthday.
DYK I can wear a child's size 5 in Uggs. I live near an Uggs outlet, and pop in occasionally. They usually have odd colors.
DYK they had a black in a child's size 5. I jumped on it. I think I paid $125 for them.
DYK I have those, plus slippers (which I LOVE), and still have a balance on the gift card.

DYK that's what Eric qualified for this year. Special ed program; he has an IEP; etc. He has a "homeroom", but then spends almost all day in the resouce room.

DYK did you see the report on Spongebob yesterday and how he's not good for kids to watch?
DYK granted, the market research they did wasn't very good, but basically the movements in the program (versus a slower paced show like Caillou) caused higher activity levels in kids after watching it.

DYK I agree that Mother Natures has played some especially nasty games this year.

DYK the Texas wildfires are incredible.

DYK and the devastation here is overwhelming from the flooding. Farming is big in this area, and there are farmers who will never recover from this.

DYK so many people have lost every single thing they own. I work with someone that happened to. Now that the water is receding she keeps going back, trying to find things to hang on to, but pretty much everything is ruined, and her home is probably going to be condemned.

DYK the sunset was incredible tonight. It looked like a ball of fire going down. I took a picture with my phone, but it didn't do it justice.

DYK and now the moon is equally incredible.

DYK Steve has the kids tonight. We haven't really been doing the switching off custody thing. They see him lots, but usually it's here for dinner, or on the weekends and we do things together.

DYK this is the first time he's taken them on a school night. I prepped their breakfast, lunch and snacks to take to school tomorrow. Gave him instructions on their homework assignments.

DYK and I had grand plans of getting a pedicure. But no, both places I went to closed at 7:00. So, no luck.

DYK oh, well...

DYK and I also had plans for exercise or a nice walk.

DYK but after discovering the salons were closed, it was already pretty dark out.

DYK I have to say, the thought of bears makes me nervous.

DYK they got into our trash again last week. Then yesterday, someone told me about bears climbing her trees to eat walnuts.
