out through the woods

After being so hot yesterday by mid-morning, today it was actually still pretty nice, so I took a drive out on some little roads through the forest.....the kind of road where you don't see any other cars the whole way.....it was cool and pleasant out there.....and eventually I hit back on a highway and came back home.  A little bit of a diversion from sitting around the house....and while I was driving I thought of something I can do with that leftover chicken and rice....I can throw in some black-eyed peas and have Hopping John for  couple or three dinners....that'll get me up to the weekend.  Last night there was dry lightning around ten, so it must have been later than that before I got to sleep....
