Wheat Harvest 2011

Ok, so it has been way to long since I last posted and I am so sorry about that. July is usually a little slower than this, but we have been going like crazy here on and off the farm. It's really hot and really dry here right now so the normal summer stuff isn't so normal, but I will talk more about that in another post.

I have been crazy busy tryin' to get stinkers room ready and other things ready for stinker. I don't have it completely don just yet, but it's getting close and when it is I will show y'all what it looks like. I have also been a little busy in the garden...with what's left in the garden that is. Trying to get things canned and put away, so we will have food to eat! ;)

On top of that I have total "mommy brain" going on right now and it's driving me crazy!!! If I don't write something down then it's pretty much gone and it takes me a million times longer to do things because of this!!

Anyways, I was going to to a big post about wheat harvest and bean planting but well that ain't happening, so I am just gonna show you some of the pictures from it.

I was the official "gofer" and would go running after everything for the guys, so I didn't get as many good pics as I would have like, but I still got some! We can pretend it's a "Wordless Wednesday," only it's Tuesday and there are a lot of words here. ;)

OK So I will shut-up and let you enjoy the pics  and if you have any questions be sure and let me know and I will do my best to answer them...



























On the final day when we finished harvesting our last field Caleb wanted to a group photo with the equipment, but first we had to get everything lined up just right...this took a little bit...


But We finally got it and here is the good looking group of combine drivers, truck drivers, planter operator, cooks, and even the the 'gopher'. (My belly isn't near that small any more, just thought you should know!)

Well I hope you enjoyed all the pics and I promise it won't be three weeks till I post again.

  8. Such great pictures, girl! That wheat is just gorgeous! When Q wakes up from his nap, I'll have to show them to him. You know how he loves your blog. ;) I might have to talk to you about printing off a picture or two for his bedroom. We're going to be doing it in a tractor theme. Would you be opposed to us using any of your art?
