Homeward Bound...

Today we leave for Minnesota. Two glorious weeks of snow and sub-freezing temperatures lie ahead of us. Skiing. Walks around the section in the snow. Possibly even ice skating. In honor of the occassion, here is a poem by Robert Frost.

"Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening"

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.
