This is the farm-house where I walked the quarter-mile drive for 9 years.

I'm very tired; should be sleeping,
but had to put this here before I leave for Palm Desert:
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'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-

  1. Dear Diane, thank you for the photos and for taking me back to all those memories.

    I remember mom and dad getting stuck in that driveway, and dad trying so hard to keep it plowed in the winter.

    Hope you had a great 4th. Love, Willow
