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 when Ellie was up earlier, I put a little pony in for her.

dyk and she scrounged up a night-night (a binky) and would NOT give it to me -- I think if I had attempted one more time she would have tried to bite me -- hahaha

dyk so I just let her have it and she was really cute playing --- though it was a little odd to see her with the binky in and awake. HA

dyk and notice what else she is protecting

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 I love this!

dyk the hardest part of moving cities mid-career was giving up this kind of friend network

dyk after 7 years in the Bay Area, I finally feel as if I have friends who I can call to bring me soup when I am sick

dyk how did you make your reply look like that -- with what I wrote with the line above and below it as reference?

dyk I like that

dyk hit "reply" instead of "quick reply"

dyk then hit "quote"
