I rarely just cut and paste onto the blog but I really thought this was too good not share. In the world we are living in today, it seems that perhaps simple words are really needed so I share these. My Uncle Bob was a Farmer and I think that I can hear him saying most of these to me at one time or another.

Have a great day and be blessed.
