I spent the weekend in Eureka Springs—the quiet drive from Fayetteville was a simple pleasure. Stunning landscape. Hillsides covered with grasses and flowers, the names I don’t know. Old barns.

I also wandered into a great organic market in Eureka and bought a huge cup of freshly roasted coffee on a drizzly morning. A simple pleasure indeed.
