Fishing in the snow!

On August 15th we went fishing with Jason's family in the Uinta Mountains. We drove all the way up there and spent much of the time in the trailer because it was SNOWING!! I took pictures, and it made me think of one of my very favorite poems.


"Stopping by the woods on a snowy evening", by Robert Frost

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.



The weather eventually cooperated, and we were able to fish. By that afternoon, the skies were clear and beautiful. What a gorgeous area! It is so nice to slow down, and enjoy nature sometimes. Logan was trying to get a good look at a "fishy" and got too close to the edge. He fell in head first (good thing the water was shallow). He wasn't happy and had to wait in the tent for an hour while his shoes dried by the fire. (No I did NOT think to bring an extra pair of shoes for a one day trip!!)
A happy fisherman!
