"Something there is that doesn't love a wall..."

Something there is that doesn't love a wall,
That sends the frozen-ground-swell under it,
And spills the upper boulders in the sun, 

And makes gaps even two can pass abreast.


TWO roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both



We are so lucky to live near to the farm house that inspired one of the greatest poets in American history.  While Arnie's friend, Brad was visiting from Uganda, we finally took the time to take the tour and walk in the woods around this historic site.  It was very interesting and the tour guides were very knowledgable.  I highly recommend you visit the Robert Frost farm in Derry, NH if you are ever in the area.

The formal dining area.

There were a lot of toads in the marsh nearby that were the girls'
favorite part of the tour.

A very handy tree to take a family portrait

Great blog post re the great poet Robert Frost. It was a treat to visit there on one of our visits and see that wall which may have inspired that famous poem
