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 just saw a thing done on Restaurant Impossible that is PERFECT for my table that the kids eat at and do crafts at.

dyk they had a table cloth, plain color, with a piece of wallpaper on top for design and then a piece of glass on top that held it firmly in place and made for easy cleaning

dyk that is PERFECT for this beat up standard 4 chair table

dyk sometimes Ellie is SO BUSY during the day working on her projects, playing and bossing everyone around that I can't get her to eat very much -- I mean I can offer, suggest, try and feed her but end of day I can't FORCE It down her throat

dyk and those times, she usually is hungry for a bottle about 4am

dyk yep she should be waking up any minute now though -- she doesn't normally sleep more than 18 hours in a 24 hour period -- and she'll still take a nap

dyk yesterday was a very big/long day for her so I am sure that is what the deal is

dyk she will prob nap form 1:30-3 and then go to bed again between 7:30 and 8 and be up about 8 tomorrow. mUch more normal for her

dyk Ellie is up -- 11:15am

dyk and highly offended already

dyk I took away the laptop, my iphone, the real remote, and I won't give her the Wii remotes

dyk instead, I am forcing her to play with actual TOYS and she's furious!
