Shakes

The other day the kids and I took burgers and shakes out to the field.  Of course the kids had to go for a ride.  

Wonders of Combining

I often wonder how they manage to not run into each other when they get into tight corners like this.  

I know that the combines are loaded up with GPS and cool stuff like that but I wonder how they can see where they are going when it is so dusty out and the evening sun has been strangely bright.

Just some things I wonder about.  Coming soon….a photo tour of a combine!!

Late nights

The combines are still working long hours.  It has been four weeks since the wheat harvest started.  There were a few days that were too wet.

The fields are so dusty this year.  There is a lot of coughing and stuffy noses around here lately. 

Harvest

The wheat harvest is in full swing.  Combines are going round and round or up and down.  Grain carts are cruising around the fields to unload the combines.  Trucks are busy hauling out of the fields.  Yup…..it’s harvest time.
