"He gives his harness bells a shake
To ask if there is some mistake."
One pretentious professor asked Frost if he thought horses could ask questions to which someone in the audience replied, "They ask better questions than professors."
Happy Birthday, Linda! (a little late as usual ... )
My new baby grandson, Sam, was born in the early morning hours of March 26th. We had had snow all evening, and Mommy and Daddy had a long drive down a long dark road through the woods in it, to get to the hospital. When we realized the next morning that it was Robert Frost's birthday, it just seemed somehow so fitting. And, of course, Grammy had to send him his own copy of the "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening" children's book she loves to read to her other babies at school.
Happy Birthday Linda!
