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 of course, the food

dyk not picture is the dish of rosemary roasted potatos that were heating in the oven -- but you can imagine

dyk this entire meal (minus rolls/cake) is gluten free

dyk and the cake was last minute b/c she dropped the egg she needed for the gluten free brownies

dyk my friends always cook gluten free for me!

dyk it took me 5 years, but I have officially have a group -- Sean and I have a group -- of couples, with kids, where we hang all together, individually, the kids are mixed ages but close and get along, etc, etc,

dyk so I don't need an "office" b/c at any moment I could "summon" (*that's the joke) someone and they would either arrive with a sonic drink or I could crash in on them wherever they are

dyk there are 4 sticky notes stuck to the side wall of the kids computer area -- in a square

dyk they say 0,1,2,3 on them (one number per sticky)

dyk and Dek wrote them and put them there.

dyk oooooh, shaking in my boots, hahahah

DYK I am jealous of your group! I am working on getting a better network going
DYK Loran needs more playdates and we need more friends with little kids!
DYK my BFF tells me she is working on it, lol, but I need babies NOW!
DYK It is obvious that if I don't pursue/invite over/play hostess- it just doesn't happen!

dyk I texted her back and told her I was so happy for her, so excited and that her work is finally coming together!

dyk she texted back: Yes and all the investments of my friends over the years.

dyk I told her, we have faith in you

dyk and I do. She's walked a hard road but she has come so far (how cheesy but it's true! lol) and done it literally against the odds.

dyk as for investing in her -- she deserves it, she needed it, and she appreciates. She is deeply appreciative and loving of those in her life, and that makes is so easy to just give and love on her back.
