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 did you make the BBQ, too?
DYK our kids did an impromptu fundraiser after church today.
DYK a family needed help paying their rent, so the kids hosted a car wash for donations.
DYK they came away with about $350. Not bad for 2 hours of work, and absolutely no financial investment!

DYK my accomplishment for the day was going through Eric's clothes.
DYK we have two huge bags of clothes to give away, and his drawers are stocked with lots of clothes that fit.
DYK he is completely set for fall and winter. Just needs some socks.
DYK next we have to tackle Abby's closet.

dyk my ladies group was in chart of outside marketing and prepaid orders for delivery

dyk that's it -- there is no official tally, but I think the charity made their goal!

dyk $350 in 2 hours is INCREDIBLE!
