A Good Day to Harvest...

Bert & Clara watching the guys work



And off they go!

Today was the first "full" day of harvesting. The guys got started shortly before 11:00 this morning and are just now returning home at 11:00 tonight. It has been a long day, but I'm thankful that they were able to get 3 fields cutoff today. Shaun, Dorel & David worked out at the Buhler field most of the day and were able to come to the field northwest of our house for supper and rest of the evening. Dale & Jesse kept the combines running throughout the day.
We have had several visitors in the fields the last couple of days. My grandma & grandpa Carlson came down yesterday morning and stayed until supper was over. They really didn't get to see the "full blown" harvesting, due to rain throughout the morning. At least they were able to eat at their favorite restaurant, Aggies in Hesston, due to the rain. Shaun's aunt and uncle brought his grandparents out to the field last night. I'm sure they miss all of the action after years of harvesting. Shaun's grandma came out for lunch today and my dad and grandparents Sims came down tonight and are staying until Saturday.
I finally got a picture of all three combines running at the same time. It was quite the chore, since they were usually at different places or unloading at different times.
