Stopped To Watch

rusty6 · Dec 20, 2020

I was thinking of Robert Frost when I was out on the 2140 this morning in the falling snow. Quiet for Sask. and mild enough that the snow was melting on the hood, and on my parka. Sure has been some extremes in temp the past few days.
So I stopped the little iron horse for a bit to watch my woods fill up with snow.

Its been 50 years since high school literature but for some reason some of the old poetry lines stick in my head. Most of the useful information seems to be in an inaccessible file unfortunately.

Early winter I too look for the snow to start filling the woods. I would probably still wait for snow but it would not be the same with out that poem stashed away, waiting most of a year to bring a smile as we take a little rest with fall chores mostly done. Thanks Rusty 6 for the reminder. JD

Neat picture and neat poem as well

730virgil · Dec 22, 2020

a good friend of Mrs 730 would call her on Christmas EV and resist that for her.

High school literature class was where I first discovered his work and its stuck in my mnd all these years. And he was right about the good fences thing.
