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 Ellie also has her own set of real keys, as does Dek, that go to various things -- they are extra keys though

dyk yesterday Ellie was the prisoner in the jail (the kennel) and she would not cooperate and "escape" she kept reclosing the door from the inside and yelling at Dek

dyk it was funny, too

DYK I can't tell you how many days I sit in my office and wish I could be tackling laundry, or picking up toys
DYK I never pictured myself wanting that?

DYK honey baked ham is awesome
DYK Loran blew my mind with how much she ate at the baseball game. I thought I over packed, turns out I did not
DYK She had a whole container of sliced grapes, a container of cheese cubes, graham crackers, a container of yogurt, a cereal bar, and a whole biscuit I threw in at the last minute..she also had two bites of Chad's cuban

DYK I think you hit it on the head- it is the satisfaction of keeping house and taking care of a family
DYK it is nice to get in the office and talk to other adults, but it isn't where my heart is right now
