October 14 Snow.....I cannot recall getting snow this early in October. The temps were cold and on our drive home from church we saw the flurries. I figured we would just see a few specks, but it still seemed much too early for snow! As the day went on, the flakes came down much larger and then they started to stick. By evening almost everything was white and it was on the ground the next morning. We were just getting things dry enough to get back in the field. Snow sure isn't going to help with fall harvest. I hope this isn't a sign for a long winter ahead.On Tuesday the combine was a rolling. Mark made the switch to corn even though we had not yet finished beans. With Po running the combine, they hit a soft spot. He stopped and tried to back up and sunk the front tires. With some spinning and trying to get it out, it just buried it deeper. Mark tried to pull it out, but in the end he had to hire a tile crew to come with two backhoes to dig it out. The boys and I watched from the car. The giant triple wheel tractor spun and lurched, and pulled the big combine out. It was scary to watch and I wasn't so sure it was going to work, but it did. So thankful and not long after they were back and running. The boys spent the day in the field. I made my nightly meal delivery, tonight's menu pizza bagels.
