Life Is Simple
It always puts a smile on my face when someone does or says something that makes so much common sense, one wonders why no one had done or said it before. When that someone is a youngster, my smile gets even bigger.

On my desk at Ozarks Farm & Neighbor is a photo of my dad, Larry Turner; my uncle, Bill Turner; and my grandfather, Billie Joe Turner, standing in front of a team of horses named Bill and Nell. Dad said Bill (the horse Bill, not my uncle) was a heck of a horse but Nell, on the other hand, was a little more cantankerous and was known to bite. Nell, coincidently, is the name of my dog, which isn’t known to bite.

The Cubs just won their first World Series in 108 years. Miracles do happen! We were so excited (and loud) celebrating their victory, we woke our kids up.

One of my biggest pet peeves is hearing people say, “You need to think outside the box.”

Arkansas autumn is amazing. Ours is not called the natural state by mistake. Arkansas is beautiful all year. Fall color accentuates its loveliness.

J.W. runs a pretty sizable, cattle operation a couple of counties east of me and opts to calve out all of his cows during the fall season. Visiting with him recently, he told me that he had over 300 calves born in August alone, and that in the mix of calving this year, he was also calving out over 100 first-calf heifers. I can’t even begin to imagine the number of sleepless nights the cattleman had to endure.
