View of the day-The combine sits and waits with the new pickup head on...it will be a few days before it sees action again.
Al was out the door early to go visit with the farmer to see if swathing was in his future. The weeds are really starting to take over in a couple of fields and with the elevators insisting on dry wheat, it won't happen with the weeds. There will be some swathing done...providing the rains miss us...so we will have some time to get the to-do list whittled down.
When we were on our way back from Yorkton, we learned of the passing of Al's godmother, Delores Kuntz, after a two year battle with cancer. She was a great baker and always made sure we had a plate full of dainties to take home whenever we would visit. This morning we learned that we had also lost a dear friend Kathy Croswell, who was only 37 years old, to cancer as well...a real shock since she had just found out a couple of months ago. She was a big part of the theatre group in Grayson and we had performed in many productions together. She leaves her husband Kelvin and three children
Marilyn has a couple of computers full of pictures and videos, so she spent the day sorting through them to put together a tribute to Kathy. Apparently there needs to be some sort of way to catalogue these things, because backing them up on DVD's or CD's is great if you can find the exact file without having to go through every folder, just in case they were misfiled. And you know there would have to be two perfect pictures Marilyn knew she had, but never did find. Lots of time today to trip down memory lane and think about our immortality.
Wish we could have been harvesting...
