Robert Frost. 1874-1963

The Road Not Taken
Somewhat abridged -

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood.
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood

Then took the other, as just as fair,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;

I shall be telling this with a sigh
I took the one less traveled by,

And that has made all the difference




Delphinium House in Coupeville

Delphinium House is a custom designed, new craftsman style home in Peaceful Valley. The Design Review Board monitors the design of all new homes in Coupeville, and the desire and standards to which they are held, is that they reflect a style which compliments the wonderful historic Craftsman, Victorian and Edwardian landmark homes of "old town."

Built by Cascade Custom Homes in 2003, Delphinium House a charming light filled "home," Cairn Cottage and surrounding gardens, are loving works in progress. Plants that have history, and a kitchen garden that feeds the table, and supplies garnishes. The large porch is for your pleasure. The porch overlooks the garden, and has a sweeping view of Penn Cove, and the quaint waterfront of Coupeville.

Below the house and between the town is a large open park area where blackberries can be gathered, children play and kites are flown.
