September 30, 2009


View of the day-It's another windy one as the flag flaps forward as we combine.


Al was up early and went out to unload the truck and grain cart, then service the combine before starting to cut. Marilyn got lunch ready then stopped in town to pick up some produce at the newly opened grocery store before heading out to take over in the combine.


We finished the rest of the field we were on, then moved a couple miles east to start on the next one. Al was kept busy hauling to the pile and once we made the move, he kept adding to the one he had started in the other field. He had decided to go to the hockey game in Yorkton, so he made sure everything was empty before he left around 6:30pm. Marilyn worked at filling both rigs and finished around 9pm and after tarping both units, headed for the camper.

It was surprising how much it had warmed up by the end of the night...relatively speaking...it was probably 10 degrees warmer than when we started in the afternoon...and the wind hadn't let up. Al did say there was lots of lightning in Yorkton when he got there which seemed bizarre for this time of year...here, anyway.

And where did September go...
