We started cutting milo the end of last week. Today my farmer man is racing against the weather. We were waiting for the moisture to go down in the grain, so we could cut. Now we’re hoping to get the most of it cut before the weather changes. We’re supposed to get rain tonight, with […]

In the Field, Cutting Corn
Beautiful fall time harvest sky! Lots of upkeep to a machine! When there’s moving parts, they need to be kept moving easily with lots of oiling and greasing! Cutting and hauling and carting the crop!

Wheat Harvest {Take 5}
This morning found me slicing up cucumbers for pickles and then errand-running, with parts and seed to go get for my man and a few things to pick up at Wal-Mart. This evening it was supper-to-the-field-time, but I didn’t stay very long. Mom had green beans for us to pick if we wanted them. Renae […]

Wheat Harvest {Take 3}
Back to cutting after a thunderstorm and a little rain last night. The storm cleared the sticky out of the air. It still got very hot today, but it was a beautiful evening in the harvest field. A breeze, but not a WIND and sitting in the shade was very pleasant. Sunday the high temp […]

Cutting Our Milo
We’ve been cutting some milo! Well, my husband has been. He doesn’t have a very machinery-operator-friendly wife. I’ve been taking pictures and running errands and taking some food and snacks over to the field. And now I’m posting some pictures. Cause I do that better than I drive truck. Cuddling down inside the truck sleeper. It was […]
