‘Dust if you must’ from Shelagh, thank you – a woman after my own heart!
2 One of my favourite books is Poem for the Day and the poem for today, 30th September, is one I particularly like.
The Road Not Taken
“Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim
Because it was grassy and wanted wear,
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I,
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.”
– Robert Frost

Frost country right around the corner from me, just sayin’……. Hope you have arrived safely. I just spent a couple of days down at the Mass shore, foliage color was gorgeous on the drive down and back, and it has been warm and sunny.

It reminds me of Summons by Robert Francis…http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/summons/. It is one of my favorite poems.

Never tire of Frosts poem, and how I enjoyed the first… though sometimes I fear my house is starting to look like Miss Havisham’s !

Beautiful words…and the poem is from one of my favorite poets:) The sunny yellow flower makes the ideal image for this post! Oh yes, dusting is best left to the ‘when it just must be done’ category of housework:)
