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 don't know if it was because I stayed up past 11:00 last night or because I unloaded all that crap I been carrying around in my heart, but I actually slept quite well last night.

Dyk was up shortly after Keith left this morning at 6?

Dyk growing up, the TV was always turned off during dinner?

Dyk that was not the case in Tom's house?

Dyk they would actually shush you if you talked during the meal?

Dyk I wish my TV wasn't visible from the dinning area?
