Penthesilea:
Like every year, I'm happy that the darkest day of the year is now behind us! :)

Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening
BY Robert Frost (1922)

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.

You got that right.  The temps here for Christmas Eve are predicted for 70.  :o

Thanks, Paul. I love that poem.

And may Boston have a dearth of snowy evenings this season.  :)

I wish I'd thought to light a candle, or something, last evening. Just because. But I didn't think of it.  :(
