Rats, I don’t know why I can’t embed a non-youTube video here. Oh well, just follow the link for the song please.
I was going to tell you we were well under way with our soybean harvest:
But he actually finished up the last of the beans before lunch AND even came in the house and sat down to eat his lunch!! Yesterday went better than planned and it didn’t rain enough last night to stop him. Finally a time where things not going to planned turned out to be a good thing.
Look what I did yesterday:
I went up to our furthest farm and towed the flex head home for Colin. It wasn’t too bad. Just one spot on the back side road where I met oncoming traffic right where a bunch of mail boxes crowd the road. Even though I’m wider than the lane, no cars or mail boxes were hurt!
At lunch I found out that he wanted the wagons moved further down the field closer to where he’s working. He actually thought to himself “can I teach Paula to drive the tractor over the phone?”. I may have started something!
Wednesday we had our homeschool trip to Hugli’s and as per tradition it was cold, and windy, and snowy! It really came down a couple of times. But I didn’t mind, snow is much drier than rain. Ella had a good time. Her buddies Keifer and Ephraim and Landon were there, they make her less serious.
Speaking of home school friends, tonight is ladies’ night for the home school moms. We’re going to get wild and crazy without the kids. I made pie 🙂
At Home With Us 
So good to hear from you…… my grand daughter is marrying a farmer in Bottineau ND bet you know where it is…so beautiful up there and she , from the Iron Range up above me in Virginia mn but she loves the fields, and the grains and the peace there. Her boyfriend is from a four generational farm and he is done just last week with his soybeans. My son Bryan, a miner in Virginia and never having been to the Amber Waves of Grain area here before..drove out and rode in the combine with him twelve hours. Was amazed at all there is to farming……..and also how the BIG SKY country was so beautiful. glad all is going well… and I have been under the weather a bit here.. but up and running soon… after our tornadoes then winds, then warm again, then cool today but sunny. Most of our farmers here took total losses on their crops with the six tornadoes that hit us two weeks ago. I wrote about it already..so you know. but still keep hearing about it and the four hundred trees we lost too……. but no one got hurt in it..so that was a miracle. Wonder what kind of PIE maybe you will post it… I am making Spinach Fetta pie and Apple pie so better get them out….. sharing the pie would be fun and cuppa tea… love to you all Merri
I am so so glad to hear that! how wonderful!!! that C. was able to do the harvest so quickly! have a wonderful weekend!
