\u00a0The weather around here has had a bite to it lately, and I want to think of the frogpond a bit longer as a place where the breeze is still a friend — before it freezes over into a skating rink.\u00a0 So, enjoy the poems and the warm glow of our Honored Guests, from the Fall 2006 Frogpond<\/em>, which was edited with love and skill by John Stevenson.
