Harvest has begun!

Last night Stan took the combine a couple of laps around the Canola field. It wasn't quite ready, but so near. It is hot and windy today so it will be "all systems go" by Monday for sure, and maybe even later this afternoon. We had our last lunch at the kitchen table for a while as I eat before I go out to the combine and he eats when he brings grain back to the yard. I have the oven working today to stockpile a few basics like buns and cabbage rolls etc. so if I don't have something ready in the fridge, there will always be something for backup in the freezer. It is such an exciting time of the year! I look forward to the beginning and later I will be just as happy to see the conclusion. God has been good. We have some good looking crops and even the stuff the had hail as come back the best it could.

Concerning my recent health problem? I am without pain and ready to go! I am SO thankful this kidney stone is gone in time for the harvest.
