It takes a village

We had a busy day yesterday!  We thought it might end up being a very short day in the field when rain showers began popping up mid afternoon.  We had a few sprinkles, but the storms slid around us.  Yeah!

Close call!  Afternoon showers just missed us.
Quentin was able to keep cutting on the home place, despite some soft areas.  He really wanted to get it cut, or we might have had to wait until the ground froze to get back in the "swamp" area.  The COOP lines were very long, and the combine had to keep shutting down to wait for the next truck.  Frustrating!!

If you have a village helping, however, you can get some things done!  Ken and Paul were on the trucks, and I was in the grain cart.  Grandma was on babysitting duty.  It looked like we might have to quit with just a few acres left last night, but a neighbor who had just finished his harvesting brought his semi over so we could load it up late last night.  We were able to finish the whole field about 9:30.  Whew!  It does take a village sometimes...
