What does prairie mean to you?

The question of the hour on the radio right now is "what does prairie mean to you".

Many of you live on the prairies, so what does it mean to you if you do, or even if you don't.

Probably to mean it means "wide open spaces". You? I do love the prairies!!!

"praire" Hmmmmm. . . . .

no horizons

breezes blowing in the grass

peace, quiet and serenity

Wide open spaces was the first thing that popped into my head!!

Also because I think of Little House on the Prairie I think quiet, simple, serene. (with hard work harvesting all those wheat fields)

Being able to see the grain elevator...in the next county...thirty miles away!

To me it's acres and acres of grasslands, with only slightly rolling hills, a small amount of water in sight and cattle grazing here and there (cuz that's what our area looks like and I've always thought of it as the prairie).

I agree with Heather
