Remembering Snowy Times

On this snowy day, remembering some snowy times in W.Va.

This was my mother's, Evelyn Findley Swisher's homeplace where she grew up on a farm in Simpson, W.Va. Later on her brother, Eldon Findley bought the farm and raised his family there.          

This is my niece Rachel Swisher Fetty and my nephew, Kevin Swisher when they were visiting with us on one snowy day. Rachel is holding her little dog, Gretchen.  I wonder what Kevin is holding in the litle bag?  Cookies, Maybe?  We all loved Mom's chocolate chip cookies.  I can see he is holding a Beatle record that I gave him as well. We all loved to listen to the Beatles! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!                   

This is a walk through a snowy woods with my niece Becky Swisher Duclos on the right and a little girl I babysitted for named Tracey Fisher Robertson .        



  Stopping by the Woods on a Snowy Evening By Robert Frost

Who's woods are these 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 wood 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 a 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.
