The more I travel twisty back roads looking for new places to eat, the more I love this part of the country I live in. This is a beautiful time of year to drive a country highway. The rain has been kind to us (sometimes too kind), and the trees are green and full of leafy glory. Late summer flowers such as cup plants, crown vetch and blazing star are painting the edges of the roads with color. Sometimes, it is healing to just drive, look and enjoy breathing. And that's exactly what I did on my way to Highway 51 Express this week.
