Sea of Snow

This is the view from the end of the drive. It is a sea of snow, ready to gobble you up and hide you until it thaws out in June. All of the ditches are full of snow and level with the roadways, when the wind whips across the prairie it picks a path of least resistance and the roadways quickly fill with drifts. The roads are a mess, icy and slippery and compacted with ice and snow. We went for a short ride yesterday.

I have had the wildest cravings for food, since I had the flu. I dream about food at night. I can taste the food in my dreams. Pretty strange.. I have eaten that Pizza Hut Pepperoni Extra Cheese pizza several times. I have eaten my Mothers Lemon filled Jelly Rolls with wild abandon. I have dined on my Aunt Violets Chicken and Dumplings, and eaten my Aunt Graces Apple bars. I have had my Grandma D's pickles, and fresh yellow beans with butter and new peas and potatoes in white sauce. I have made a mess with my Aunt Toots BBQ ribs and had a lovely visit with her( she left this earth many years ago.) I have visited Florida and eaten every Orange and Grapefruit in sight. Then just for good measure I walked to Captain D's for Fish and Chips. I have sat at the edge of a huge Dairy Queen Cherry Sundae with a tiny little spoon, I was cold but bound and determined to sit there and have my fill before I froze to death. I wake up and low and behold I am not hungry..I have eaten all night long..I have made a virtual pig of myself in my dreams..and then Far Guy says "What would you like to eat?" He knows nothing of the food of my dreams..nothing he will cook will ever come close..but his hash browns were awfully tasty. He has been trying his best to see that I eat at least one good balanced meal every day. One good thing about the food in my dreams, It has no calories..if it did I would be in big, big trouble. Every night just before I go to sleep I wonder what great food will I dine on in my dreams tonight? :)
