I’m amazed at how long ago the beginning of a week can seem. When I flipped through to see what pictures I had taken this past week, I thought, “We did that just the beginning of the week?” It seemed like it was much longer ago! Hello to painting fun and art class and creating […]
More On Wheat Harvest
Wheat harvest is such a major part of our lives. It comes and then it is gone. It goes by at lightning speed and at a turtle crawl all at the same time. There is nothing quite like watching all those golden fields disappear underneath the combines as they eat their way […]
Yummy Berry Fruit Cups
Here is the other fruit cup recipe that I like really well. The rest of my family isn’t as fond of it, but I don’t mind. ‘Cause I really like them! You can go here for my family’s favorite fruit cup. The recipe I have didn’t really have a name, so I made one up. […]
Of Harvest and Busy and Animals, But Mostly the Animals
It’s been a busy couple of weeks! Harvest time. Just the words equate “BUSY” in my mind! It’s a good time and a blessed time, though. My cousin and her husband and four daughters and two sons were here for the first week of harvest. My cousin’s husband helped out in the fields and my […]
Cuttin’ Wheat
The Harvest
The harvest in Kansas, the harvest of wheat, Each year it is hectic and busy, but neat, The combines are rolling, dust in the air, Wheat heads are waving, golden and fair, My man’s in the combine, surveying his crop, Till the harvest is done, he won’t hardly stop, The truck and its driver patiently […]
A Harvest/Summer Staple
Fruit Cups! It wouldn’t be harvest time without frozen fruit cups in the freezer. They’re a pantry freezer staple during the summertime and wheat harvest around here. I have tried different recipes in the past. Anymore, I don’t really follow an exact recipe. I have a basic form and just add and dump and use whatever I have […]
Wheatscapes
It’s starting to look a lot like harvest…. And it’s only the 26th of May… There have been a few combines cutting in our county the last couple of days… Seems so funny. We are close to a month early! Harvest. It’s busy. It’s hectic. It’s hot. It’s dusty. Yet, there is something […]
So Long, Farewell, Auf Wiedersehen, Good-bye
Sob. Sniff. I’m somewhat of a sentimentalist. I admit it. I’m sad. Don’t laugh. I’m sad over a combine. Nuts and bolts and metal and paint. And an auger and a clean grain elevator and memories. Sob. Sniff. You see, last fall an opportunity to upgrade our combine sort of fell into our laps. It […]
Milo Harvest
Finally, I am getting some pictures of milo harvest posted.. I don’t end up at the field as much when Matthew is cutting milo as I do when we are cutting wheat or cutting our irrigated circle. Cutting milo is just different. It usually involves cooler to colder weather and shorter days of cutting compared […]
Corn Harvest
I like to take pictures. I don’t always take the time for it and I can get behind in getting them off the camera and in backing them up and in all the things that do go along with pictures. Or invariably, I don’t have my camera with me when I especially want it. That […]
Fun at the Field
It’s fun to hang out at the field when there’s a combine running. It’s fun to watch. It’s fun to take pictures. It’s fun to ride. It’s fun to race around the field. It’s fun to play in the truck. It’s just fun. And since I am so organized and efficient and everything is always […]
The God of Harvest Praise
The God of harvest praise, With loud thanksgiving raise, Hand, hearts, and voice, The valleys laugh and sing, Forests and mountains ring, The plains their tribute bring, The streams rejoice. Of food for man and beast, Jehovah spreads a feast, Above, beneath: Ye herds and flocks, draw near, Fowls, ye are welcome here; His […]
