November 21, 2009


View of the day-The Qu'Appelle River runs through the last field that Al combined...he made a point of taking pictures today.


Al was up early this morning and Marilyn got to lay in...for a change. Al left for the field around 8:30am and was able to start combining right after servicing and doing the windows. He finished the straight flax and there were a few canola swaths left in one of the fields, so he switched up the headers and made short work of them...he had to change headers anyway, before coming home.

Marilyn was up at Ebenezer for the afternoon, rehearsing and set building until dark...which is at 4:53 this time of year, which makes for a short day. After having a productive rehearsal, it was time to head back to the farm, meeting Al on his way into town for the hockey game. We stopped on the road and got caught up on the day, then went our separate ways...what a difference from being together 24/7 all summer...

So, now it is officially, official...we are done combining for the season. We still have to clean things up and tuck them away for the winter...if that ever shows up.
