DYK- September Days Are Here

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 much prefer max and ruby or Gigi, God's Little Princess
dyk but it seems you two have settled into a rhythm and are steadily working on things huh?
dyk I can't imagine being separated from Sean --
dyk my sister, mom, Sean (laugh but there was a time where he was playing catch up to all the info on Abi since I had done a slew of appts and he hadn't been able to take off work and her medicine schedule is rigid and complicated) three separate friends
dyk my brother and my dad are not on the list -- they could take Dek, and maybe Ellie -- IF They even know how/remember how to change diapers, lol, but definitely not Abi and definitely not 2 of them at the same time in any combination
dyk the thought of bears scare me
dyk the BEARS scare me lol
dyk she is married to one of Sean's oldest friends, two years ago sought refuge from him after he hit her (while pregnant with their 4th)?? but kept going back
dyk she left again, without the kids, then was back, then bounced a bit
dyk she has finally, finally, made it out of the situation!! With all 4 kids and they are doing SO WELL
dyk she has been living under protective custody of the state in a family group home (a shelter) for about 4 mos now and has been through the counseling, the financial programs, etc, and any day now her and the kids move into their own furnished rent paid apt thru the program she qualified for
dyk it's VERY exciting -- she did counsling twice a week and became catholic in the last year and REALLY worked her butt off to set up a support network
dyk I am so proud of her and relieved for her and happy for her
dyk I do not wish marriages to end, but he was abusing her and it had become dangerous and she extracated herself on her own -- very empowering given her past and she broke so many generational curses and is setting things up very nicely for her kids
dyk when I saw them when we were doing dino park, etc, she looked GREAT and the kids were happy and excited and ate well, played well, it was wonderful
dyk anyway, while Abi colored, Dek was in bed, and Ellie played the guitar, I played the piano
dyk I am working on playing from a chord sheet -- just basic notes with the chord notation written above it and improvisation from there
dyk I am downloading chord sheets to practice b/c there are some chords I do not know -- I know some major and some diminished but like F2 means nothing to me!! lol 2? huh?
dyk lesson learned. lol
dyk it'll all be done in a few days.
dyk he's not bothered by that at all
dyk I had forgotten that ABi is highly motivated by gifts -- my niece, Jadyn, wrpas things up and send them to my kids and she sent a package for ABi back with my parents
dyk Abi saw it and told her as soon as she ate all her dinner she could open it
dyk she ate 2 porkchops, strawberries and drank her juice
dyk and I brushed her hair out while she did it
