View of the day-Nope, not California...through the farm sign, the neighbour burns off a field that has been in grass for 10 years.
Al was up early, blowing the dust of all the nooks and crannies on the combine...he has learned in the past that a dust free combine will help prevent static flare-ups. He has also been dragging a length of chain to help ground the machine...we're not sure if it helps, but it makes us feel like we are doing something. Marilyn chose sleep over having an early breakfast, then went out to the field to bring in the truck to unload it. The three traps that had been laid the night before netted another victim...trap line count is now at four.
With the flowers not yielding as much as had been hoped, Marilyn's hauling job was pretty slack. Even so, Al managed to get a 100 acre day in which was cause for celebration after the last week of harvest-stopping weather.
And no rain in the near future should help to whittle down the acres...
