View of the day-Finally a flag for the combine...Al really didn't want it...he's not a fan of the Canadian Football League...but Marilyn needed a flag, so the Saskatchewan Roughriders made the cut.
This is the first break with the tradition of flying the US flag on the combine and it is coincidental that we first started flying the Stars and Stripes in honor of the Sept.11 tragedy in 2001 and here we are on the anniversary of that date.
Up and at it early again...trucks to unload, machinery to move...same old, same old. A beautiful sunny fall day to continue the barley cutting...Marilyn never left the combine, but Al shifted back an forth between hauling grain with the General, then taking over Kim's combine when he hauled in with the semi.
We had a short break for supper in the field again...a change from the US harvest when everything is on the run or when we get in at night. Once we had a quick snack, we continued on combining until it got too tough to cut, then drew numbers for the shower.
Another long day...
