Life Through My Lens - Walking Through Woods on a Snowy Evening...


I captured this crystalline covered copse a few weeks ago when our town was covered in frost and snow. It brought to mind a poem by Robert Frost.


Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening
By - Robert Frost

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.

It's still looking a lot like Christmas...

Woke up this morning to another couple of inches of snow and spent an hour or so shoveling my porch, sidewalks, and part of my driveway. I have to say that in my 13 years here in Rio Verde this is the most snow I have seen. It's also been the coldest for the greatest amount of time. I think we have been consistently below freezing for probably 80% of the winter so far. That being said, I am grateful for the snow - we need the water.  (If the weather makes me want to sing Christmas songs all over again - well, that's only natural... ha ha ha!)

Drip, drip, drop....

So... the weather has been a bit unsettled as of late... rain, snow, blow, sun... then all over again. Can't complain too much, though. We need the water and its been nice to be above freezing. Tomorrow is Friday - Hooray! I mean... umm..... DRAT! I wish there were more days... ummm... ya- that's what I meant. It just means another weekend to read and do homework for Tuesday's classes. Then there's regular school stuff... Ah, I don't think I can handle the fun and excitement....
