A Day in Our Harvest Life part 2

So now I take you out to the field...
But it all starts in the yard bright and early every morning.

Following Daddy around while he gets the combines ready.




Greasing.


Caleb washing the windows.


Getting everything ready for a long day in the field.


More greasing.



Picking flowers for Daddy,




And they are out on the field!


This year we got a "new" combine. We traded it for our old case and one john deer, but before we did that we got to try it out, which meant we had 4 combines going, keeping Jen, the grain cart driver and Josh and his helper the truckers, very busy!


Here she (?) comes!!




Mom in her combine.



Grandpa driving his case.


Caleb in the other john deere.


Jen in the tractor.


Switching over to canola.




Kerri and Eli waiting for a ride.


It was very dusty that day, although most harvest days are dusty. :)


Unloading.




Back from a ride.



And we're back to wheat! Just in case you're wondering these pictures were not all taking the same day, we are fast but not that fast! :)


Enjoying the sunset.




A bunch of the days our other Grampa came over and he and Josh went swathing while the others were combining, just cause we like being busy. :)






Andy and I went to the field to take aadvantage of the sunset. That evening they were just filling the trucks so they just had the one combine out.


Andy couldn't get enough of it!



Mom riding along. It is a fun combine to ride in, I even got a turn!



And that's our harvest time, busy, tiring, hectic but fun and oh so rewarding!
