The Grain is in the Bins!!

Yes, it's true. As of yesterday, we are finished the harvest of 2008. We are thankful for our good health and safety through it all and were able to complete harvest without running for any major repairs for the combine :-) Some of the grain has already been delivered to the elevator but Stan will have some trucking days ahead of him. We were blessed with a good crop, even after the hail storm. Don't think we're on vacation yet. We still have some fall work to complete before we're relaxing too much. I think our near travel plans will include a weekend to Saskatoon for Oct. 5th (Linaya will be 2!) and Thanksgiving weekend in Regina at Lectureship.

September has arrived

Well, where did the summer go? It smells like fall, doesn't it? We haven't had frost yet which is a good thing. Roy, Monica and Linaya were home last weekend and we got a lovely visit because the weather was holding us back from full day combining. It was fun to have Linaya for a combine ride, too, as well as letting her help bring in veggies from the garden. She would show up in the kitchen and want to be picked up. Monica took a picture of what I was calling "The Cooking With Grandma Show" She would watch so carefully. We also had a very loud Roughriders game in our living room on Sunday afternoon. Linaya and Daddy got all decked out in their "Go Riders!" shirts. We're back to longer days in the field. I'm planning on being done so we can get in on Linaya's birthday cake on Oct. 5th! Harvest has been going well. Stan has been busy moving grain around to different bins to accomodate what is being dried and what is incoming dry already on the grain trucks. He is working hard and pleased with the crop that survived the hail storm. Onward we go!
