Winter Wonderland

It is bitterly cold here, but man it was a gorgeous day! I took a couple of pics, but they don't do justice to just how beautiful it was.

Kate, is that the view out your window? It's beautiful!

 

[curly_kate]

It hardly feels cold- just looking at the picture! We had such a beautiful sunny day, hard to believe it just barely made it above zero. Looking at 10 to 18 below tonight. Goodness, I am ready for spring! Beautiful view...

Whose woods these are I think I know.
His house is in the village though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow.

My little horse must think it queer
To stop without a farmhouse near
Between the woods and frozen lake
The darkest evening of the year.

He gives his harness bells a shake
To ask if there is some mistake.
The only other sound's the sweep
Of easy wind and downy flake.

The woods are lovely, dark and deep.
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.

Robert Frost (1923)

Robert Frost

That's one of his best. Thank you!

It was the poem I used for memorization in my classes every January. If my students remember nothing of what I taught them, they will at least vaguely recognize nine American songs and nine examples of beautiful poetry in American literature.

Right now in my life, 'Fences' is more appropriate, but 'Two Roads' is my favorite by Frost.

[curly_kate]
