I will try to keep up with my good food experimenting and update my blog with healthy recipes.Please keep giving me your suggestions and comments everyday so that I can keep improving my cooking.Keep continuing  to give your encouragement. Thank you everyone.

On this special occassion I would like to share one my favorite poems by Robert Frost--"Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening".This is how the poem goes.............................

Stopping By Woods on a Snowy Evening

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.

Summary

---------------

On the surface, this poem is simplicity itself. The speaker is stopping by some woods on a snowy evening. He or she takes in the lovely scene in near-silence, is tempted to stay longer, but acknowledges the pull of obligations and the considerable distance yet to be traveled before he or she can rest for the night.

Happy Blogging Everyone.
