Tuesday

Started early. Dave decided to pick the other corn dryer full, so will be a big work day. Cory here at 6:00am, helping Dave with morning chores, getting machinary ready.........

They worked last night till 9:00. Ryan came over and fixed something that was wrong with the combine. Rob stopped in for a chat, he had been working for Ron all day.

I just try to keep the home fires burning. Did sneak to town and get some groceries and take Burn's children's pictures. Wow, beautiful blue eyed kids.

Time to go stoke the "homefires".

Another big day ahead.

Starting corn harvest

Wayyyyyyyyyyy late. Started yesterday, even though the corn is wetter then it has ever been, just have to start somewhere. Cory helped haul loads until he had to work, Ryan came about 11:00 and stayed till 7 combining. Had to shut her down then, enough wet corn in the bin at once. Corn is testing about 22-26% moisture. Wet, wet, wet.

Cory, Stacy and I snuck away for an hour in the afternoon and finished up engagement pictures. Light was perfect, got some great ones. I am happy now!

Robyn came over with the kids, tried to do some kiddo shots, but no go. They went and road in the combine with Ry. All stayed for supper. Had ribs cooking all day, yummy

Today dave is out chopping stock, then him and Cory are going to get the last 3 loads out of the field. That will officially finish up the 40 acres by Strand.

It was trying to stay sunny today, but that didn't last long.

Safe harvest the most important thing!

harvest day 3

Today we took out about 60 acres of beans. Had to stop because beans were not fit on one side. Cory stayed and helped till 8:30, Ry came after work and stayed till 8:00. Good day. Woke up to rain. Going to be a lazy day today. Shoulders hurt.
