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 and before anyone asks about the dog kennel in the background -- we do not have a pet -- Shiloh went to live with someone who trains dogs to be companions pets at nursing homes and assisted living facilities --

dyk the kids use that to play -- they LOVE It -- they play jail, or fort and all 3 of them get in there and lock it up --

dyk it's hysterical.

dyk this lady on Nate's show -- told this viewer to set aside as little as $250 a month to put toward her renovation that is at a stand still (b/c the viewer's husband has been out of work since June 2010)

dyk um, abandon the renovation until your husband finds employment....

dyk just a thought

dyk luckily, ah, I adore Nate -- he said, yeeeeeah, I don't want you to do it at all.
