2010 Harvest has Begun

Harvest Has Begun!!The kids and I went out last night to help Ashley break in his new John Deere 9660 Combine on our dryland corn crop. A much smoother ride with more room. We all 4 fit in as nice as can with 2 toddlers jumping around.

The new combine has a full glass window behind cab and you can watch the holding tank fill. That was really neat.

Hudson is in there with his daddy. He may not need a sitter for the rest of harvest. He wakes up asking to drive the combine.

Kaylor looking out the window watching the action.

I still haven't learned to drive the grain cart or get my CDL, so I am safe to continue running the household, working 3 mornings a week while Kaylor is at preschool, overseeing the church nursery amd selling Pampered Chef. But if I had any free time, I know I would be practicing for my CDL. NOT!! :)

May everyone have a safe and blessed harvest season.

The GARDEN!!

Okay, I posted last on June 27th and promised a post on the Garden. Well, I haven't been back before now because of the Garden. That weed infested, goat-head and sandbur full, nothing but hard work piece of land has conquered me. I did good for first month. Kept it clean, watched the sweet seedling pop out of the dirt and begin to grow. Harvested first 50 yellow squash (that I really don't like), and shredded a number of zucinni. Then, the Garden took over. I gave up and always found something more fun that weeding it when outside. So I won't embaress myself with a picture of the Garden. Just know that I will not be tackling another one next year. Well.....maybe a small container garden.
