View of the day-Well, not today...but wouldn't it be nice to be back in this again?
Last official day of harvesting for the 2009 harvest season, and what a day it was record setting high temps. 15ºC/60ºF. It is sort of a sad, yet sweet day when you finish the harvest season.
Al picked up the last swath at 6:03 PM Tuesday November 17th. The farmer was happy to have his harvest done as well. His bins were full and a semi came out and picked up a load from the combine and the farmers truck was full when the field was done. There was still about 500 acres of flax in the area where Al was working he called the farmers but they thought they could finish it up on their own. It is deer hunting season here and the back roads by the fields were quite busy so it gave Al something extra to see.
On Wed. Al put away the grain cart and then he came back home and even with the gorgeous weather, he figured he should put the dozer blade on the tractor because at some point in time we will need it this winter and from past years experience it is far easier to put it on the tractor when you don't have to dig it out of a 2 foot snowbank.
Well as this may be our last entry for a while we would like to say thanks to all of our readers from all over the world and we hope that you enjoyed our daily updates.
God willing we will be back at the harvesting next year. Tentative start of 2010 harvest is May 20 only 183 days away.
But wait...there could be more...
