Harvest Wraps Up

On November 2, we finished harvest for the season! The men push and work long hours, drive tractors, semis, and the combine. It is exhausting, dirty, hard, and they are ready for a break at the end. Today I lined up taking pictures of the crew and equipment. It also happened to be the same day Luke's guitar instructor Mich came out to ride. Luke was so excited for him to come and ride. Mich brought out a drone and took videos and pictures while he rode. Luke told me at one point his drone got away from him and crossed the highway. He had to jump out of the combine and bring it back. Our harvest crew consisted of Mike R., Tony W, and on occasion Lindie P.  and Grandpa Po. I know Mark is anxious for the boys to be old enough to help. There is never a shortage of things to do on the farm. Cory G. went on to take a job at John Deere shortly before harvest. He has worked for us for many years.

Volleyball

Jake  went with Karen after school and to the field. My mom, Luke and I went to Jayden’s  Volleyball game in Coon Rapids.  They played 4 games all losses. They were not having a good serving night and that really hurt them.  Still enjoy watching them learn.

Treasures

 In the morning we took 3 of our 4 cats to the vet for shots. The 4 th cat decided to wander this morning missing his appointment. On our way out, we passed a rummage sale and stopped. We got some major treasures for next to nothing. The church ladies were so fascinated with Jacob's interest in old radios and televisions. They just adored him and marked the prices way down and gave him some for free. We loaded up on kids books, got some board games, and a few other treasures. Jake ended up with a mini  television , an old radio and Polaroid camera. After lunch the boys went straight to the field. My friend Carolyn and her daughter Tabby came to ride horses. What started out to be a chilly day 45, turned out nice and sunny. We had coats on, but it was a great day to ride. We rode through our hay patch and along the waterway near the highway. It was a great way to spend the afternoon.

Dayton Fun Show

 It has been cold and windy for the past week, highs of 45. Today the sun was shinning and it got up to 60. There was one final horse show for the season at the Dayton arena. We took Jayden and Jacob while Luke went with Grammer and Po and was supposed to come later. It was a fun show geared for practice and the kids. Jake did really well on Winnie, he rode in walk and trot, barrels, and poles. He did some loping. Jayden did pleasure, milk can, barrels, poles, and a jumping event. Her horse Tex really jumps high for the jump event. Down in the arena, there was'nt any wind and the sun came out. It made for a nice day.
