A Good Harvest

It's Aug. 13, o9... okay, now it's Aug 15.... and Kevin is trying to finish cutting the last of the wheat in the draws that was too wet to cut before. Hopefully he gets it all today. It's supposed to rain so we're hoping it will hold off until tomorrow afternoon so we can be done! The yeild has been good this year - no exact figures yet- a bumper crop. Now if we can just get a decent price we can pay some bills.

Brady and Patrice and Ayda and Toren were here for two weeks to help. It was fun having them here. I even got to see Toren learn to crawl.
Ok. I've tried twice to put pictures on here but every time i try to arrange them with the text o loose the pictures. @#*#$^&*!!!

No way. Mom has a blog????

Yes way!!!! We really do have a blog! Patrice and Brady have been down to help with the harvest so I asked Patrice to help me set one up. So I guess I'll start by saying that the 24th was fun. Lots of company. The parade was on a different street this year because the main street is torn up for resurfacing. Brady has only got to help harvest a few days - we've been rained out twice now and have had to wait 1 to 3 days to let it dry out. They're trying it out now. It's beautiful wheat so we're anxious to get it safely in the bins. I miss you all. It's been fun having Brady and Patrice here this week--especially Ayda and Toren.

Ayda and Toren liked standing in the

wheat on the Point with Grampa.

We dug a little in the Indian ruin just before dark.

Didn't find much, but we had fun.

Ayda and Toren loved the pool

Check out the wheat this year. Grandma & grandpa went
out with Dad before the wheat started turning
This is on the Duke place. Not all the wheat
is this tall.
