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 unfortunately, within an hour of dropping them off, I got really, really sick
dyk some kind of evil respiratory thing that just won't clear up
dyk I was home from work all last week (though I worked from home a couple of days)
dyk and I lost my voice completely
dyk I am sure you all can imagine how frustrating that was for me, LOL

dyk so, I had originally figured we'd all just go to Chrissy Field and call it a day. For him, that would normally be a lot of social time.
dyk but John was having such fun that he launched into the whole City tour on his own.

dyk we're a little bummed that when we go back to CA, it's going to be San Diego (june 2012) and so no Jamie and John. ;-/

dyk I hope Disney Land and San Diego Zoo can live up to them. haha
