Quiet before the Harvest Rush

Well, we're poised on the edge of leaping into harvest. I've been busy trying to put some food in the freezer ready to pop in the microwave between loads of grain. I did a couple of days in the "all inclusive" Gravelbourg hospital with a kidney stone attack. It is still with me, but hopefully relocated so it won't bother me through harvest. Stan has been busy getting machinery and grainbins ready. This is such and exiting time of the year. The hail took away our "elusions of grandeur". It had looked like a really great crop before he storm. Now it's a tribute to nature's desire to come back! There is more crop than anticipated, but very close to the ground. Please say a little prayer for our health and stamina as we go into this busy time. Stan has been feeling well but it will be a hard time to keep up with needed rest. God is good and we'll keep relying on Him to meet our needs. We wish our other farmer friends a boutiful and safe harvest.
