cream of wheat!

I walk my dogs every morning between 5:00am & 5:30am...we have been doing this for years! We try not to think about the weather, just dress accordingly & off we go. Now, as far as temperature goes, today was not too bad, but a few steps down the driveway and there it was...the dreaded black ice! This stuff just sneaks up on you when you least expect it and literally knocks you down. Molly and Abbey weigh about 12 pounds each and are pretty close to the ground, but let me tell you, they were skating!

At this point all that is left to do is walk in the grass where there is still a few inches of left over snow, very crunchy left over snow. Every step I took sounded like a gun shot, shattering the wonderous quiet of the morning. Not to mention, IT IS REALLY HARD TO WALK ON! Usually when we get home I settle down with a steaming cup of hot French Roast coffee, but today nothing less than a nice warm, creamy bowl of cream of wheat would do, with a pat of real butter and some warm raspberry syrup...ummm, maybe tomorrow I'll try it with blueberry syrup, weather permitting, of course.
