It happened while we were asleep
The snow had fallen, six feet deep
The temperature was ten below
All the roads were blocked with snow
"No school today", the radio said
So I quickly dressed...
and jumped on my sled!
Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening
-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.

SNOW IN THE SOUTH... is wonderful.
It has a kind of magic and mystery
that it has nowhere else. And the reason
for this is that it comes to people in
the South not as the grim, unyielding tenant
of Winter's keep, but as a strange and
wild visitor from the secret North."
-Thomas Wolfe

Married 61 years, two children, five grown g'children, and a li'l kitty, Miss Darby, a 9yo Turkish Van (never heard of that one). Our vet, whose shelter we adopted this tiny thing from, gave us no warning, but we soon knew something was up. I googled breed temperament: 1st paragraph, "Put away breakables if you have a Turkish Van in the house." ummm... too late. Geeez, our grey-striped tabby cats were sane:) It's been a 9-yr adventure with lotsa love for li'l girl Darby aka 'Dobbie-Dobbie'. She's settling in quite nicely as she ages. lol
Li'l Darby Girl:
"ANIMALS... in a world far older than ours, finished and complete, gifted with extensions of the senses we have lost or never attained, live by voices we shall never hear." -Henry Beston 1928
