10/6/15 It has been beautiful fall
weather. For the past week it has been lows in the 50’s and high near 70, just
perfect. This is my kind of weather and my season. With school, activities, and meals to the field I feel the days are full and rushed. I enjoy them, but
wish it could be simpler. Field work is going right along. We are well over
half and the crew is getting tired. Mark especially, as he goes out a couple
times in the night to check the grain dryer. He often tells me he can’t do this
much longer and wonders why anyone would ever want to be a farmer. He is
getting so tired. I have always wondered in the spring and fall months why he
has to farm so much land and is always looking to buy more. I just don’t think I will ever fully understand. I guess
it is what drives him .
The boys love being out in the field as much as possible. Jake is a night rider, he likes to ride at night and go as late as possible. I have been fixing meals for 6 men plus my own kids. It is a real challenge for me. it would be easy to throw a ham sandwich and chips in a bag, but I know how hard they work and the long hours they put in. They look so forward to the hot meal they get at night. I may not be a great cook, but I try to give them a hot meal and a variety. It is the fuel that keeps them going.
