View of the day-Another frosty morning...almost time to dig out the window scraper.

Al was up doing the usual...unloading trucks and servicing.  Marilyn was getting organized in the camper and waiting for her friend Brenda to stop in for a visit on her way home from Regina.  She was also bringing a couple of breakfast sandwiches for us from A&W as she passed through Fort Qu'Appelle.

Marilyn met her at the Abernethy corner, then led her out to the field, where Al was busy changing a couple of knife sections on the header, so that ended up being our breakfast table.

Once the combine was serviced and the windows washed, we started combining.  Brenda rode in the combine, checking out all the comforts of Marilyn's office, then took a ride into the elevator with Al in the grain truck.  Marilyn sent the camera in with her, since Al never seems to get a picture of the goings on in the elevator.

After coming back to ride in the combine for another couple of truckloads, Brenda left for Yorkton and Marilyn continued on with the cutting.  Al had another 9 load day and Marilyn covered 136 acres...two days of great productivity.  

Not an impossible task with the weather being as great as it has this last month...and according to the fuzzy caterpillars and folklore, the wide brown strip on them means a mild winter. And there are tons of them everywhere!

Two quarters to go...
