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 I thought the same thing Destiny -- that the full impact of what happened may not have hit him yet (no pun intended there) when he wrote the email about losing a quality suit, his shoes and his phone

dyk I am so glad he's okay!!!!

dyk my brother takes his wardrobe pretty seriously!
dyk but I did take his casual listing of losses as a sign that he was ok.
dyk given the nature of the accident, I would not be surprised if he gets to participate in a lawsuit that gets hime a bit more than new work clothes.

dyk there are legos that are not as expensive -- this is an 800 piece lego "system" or whatever they call it and yeah, they if you don't shop well, could cost you over $110

dyk but I won't pay that

dyk ah, I imagine it happened so fast and then to look back and realize what exactly happened, I can see him not being so casual on the phone

dyk he'll deal with the emotions from this for a while I bet -- relief being top of the list!!
