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, it's freaky

dyk, my building sits on the top of a hill (1 hill) - I guess technically it's a plateu

dyk, go down the street about 500 yards and on your left is a side road that goes up hill (2 hills)

dyk, the plateu now starts to go up hill (3 hills)

dyk, at the point of this incline, on the right is a staircase with 38 stairs - these lead down to a parking lot, main road, etc.

dyk Abi should be asleep soon -- she may already be
dyk we need to move her out of our bed
dyk tomorrow should be fun -- with only 8 hours sleep
dyk that's 3/4 of what she needs.
