Keepin’ it Country
Some of my greatest childhood memories involve my dad and deer season (or any hunting season for that matter). For me, as a child, there was this unexplainable excitement from knowing dad would be waking up before the sun, putting on camo from head to toe to crawl into a deer stand. When dad was in the woods, my day was filled with anticipation, listening for gun shots and watching the gate to see if dad was walking back to the house with a trophy buck.

Are you thinking about putting solar panels on your roof to save money? Did you know that it takes 50 years to recover that investment? People have been raving about solar panels. That to me is not about saving money? Not at that schedule for repayment. I doubt any recovery system will last that long.

October sure did sneak up quick and before you know it, it will be Thanksgiving and then when you turn around it will be Christmas. But if you’ve been to a department store lately you might be under the impression that Christmas is already here.

I just finished reading the August 29, 2011 edition of Ozarks Farm & Neighbor and in particular “Life is Simple” by Jerry Crownover. What were you thinking when you published this? If it was meant to be humorous, it failed on every level.

Fall kind of closes in on us after Labor Day. Of course, that means momma and I go over and sit on the bluff west of Clinton, Ark., on Dan and Peggy Eoff’s ranch to watch the National Championship Chuck Wagon Races. "Umpteen” other fans and I, are all shouting and cheering for our favorite wagon-teams to cross the finish line. Mark it down on your calendar for next year. It’s always racing time on the Bar Eoff Ranch the Friday, Saturday and Sunday before Labor Day.

This past summer’s drought has created a multitude of problems for farmers in my part of the world; failed crops, short hay supplies, disappearing pastures, dry ponds and a host of other problems that would only cause greater depression if I tried to list them all.
