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, we didn't have lock-down drills

dyk, we had fire drills (which, annoy me...I won't get into my pronouncement about fires, but it did NOT make me popular in 2nd grade)

dyk, we also had to jump out of the back of a school bus....

dyk, every morning I stand in my kitchen trying to decide what to have for breakfast

dyk, I need to start reintroducing foods into my life again...I think part of my problem is that I'm eating to many carbs

dyk, I should probably bring Greek yogurt back into my life

dyk, yea, I wear my crazy pants on a daily basis

dyk, I'm convinced it was the treadmill

dyk, the one I was using is a piece of crap...I won't be the least bit surprised to see an out of order sign on it when I go back

dyk, my guess is that it wasn't pulled for an emergency

dyk, I bet someone was wrapping the cord around the bar so it didn't get all tangled during their run and the pulled it to hard

dyk, there's one type of TM that has a stop button on the bar where my stomach can hit it if I'm not careful...I've hit it before. With my stomach.

dyk, yea...

dyk, yoga is one of those things I want to like, but I just can't

dyk, I know there are all types, and I think Jaime suggested one of the faster paced classes, but I don't know. I hear yoga is good for runners, so I should give it another shot

dyk, grupon always had yoga deals...maybe I'll buy one if it's convent and offers faster paced class

dyk, whatever they are

dyk, that explains shy I overheard one of my co-workers on the phone with his daughter

dyk, he was explaining that it probably wasn't a good idea for her to watch Sponge Bob because it wouldn't allow her to concentrate

dyk, I thought he was making it up because that kid has focus, serious focus....
