Beet Harvest
















Well, you can see that I spend most of my time following the kids around. My poor picked on, neglected husband!! He often feels like he never eats anything besides concession stand food, and that if he wants to see me or the kids he better head to the gym! Unfortunately it is and has been mostly true. With volleyball season ending and the last home football game this Friday things are looking up for him at least for a month!! The great thing about basketball is that he is always with me in the concession stand then, makes me happy, him not so much! He has been hard at work on the farm getting all our crops in. Wheat harvest went well, market is yucky right now, but hopefully that will come back after the first of the year. Bean harvest was great, we were fortunate to miss most of the storms and get our crops out! I love beet harvest, the smell, the sound, everything about it, except for driving truck. I fully had intentions of driving truck through this harvest but the closer it got, the more I became avoiding the subject. I can do it, just isn't my favorite thing. It has worked out to where I haven't had to (WHEW), so I went today and took a few pictures. I will get some better ones when they are digging by our house. Harvest should wrap up within a week. I am thankful every year when it all is done and everyone is safe, no accidents or crop disasters!! Truly feel blessed by that! Now for a winter with my husband, this is one of the main reasons I quit my job!!
