"Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening"

Okay, it's one of my favorite poems.
The picture reminds me of the poem.
I got this picture just as the wind blew the snow from the tree tops.
But it wasn't evening. It was about 8:30 in the morning.
There's nothing like a quiet walk in the forest on a winter morning.
-----

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's 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's 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

Hi Len
Enjoyed reading your blog site. I think these are great and a great way to keep up with what you are doing. Keep up the good work.
I'll know what to serve you with tea the next time you are in Cape Breton.
