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 12:30 am and I want to go for a run

dyk, I'll have at least 2 chances to workout on vacation (not counting all of the walking)

dyk, we have a spa room and that comes with 2 free fitness classes

dyk, I'm thinking spin...I've always wanted to try spin, but I never got up the nerve to be the newbie

dyk, although the morning instructor seems to be very nice and helpful...and likes new people in get class

dyk, there's a 5k on December 11th

dyk, I'm half tempted to sign up for it

dyk, but the one on December 18th worries me - what if the 11th is post-poned until the 18th for some reason

dyk, I'll have to think about it

dyk, I've been wide awake since about 6:30

dyk, I think I've trained my body to only need 5-6 hours of sleep

dyk, that's probably not a good thing

dyk, my cat has finally decided to allow me the privilege of her sleeping near me

dyk, earlier she let me hold her - until she decided to let me know she was no longer interested in being held by hissing at me

dyk, she's going to be ticked off when we leave today
