View of the day-Working on the buggy first thing this morning...can't be without it!

With rain in the forecast, the push is on to get the oats finished, so it was another early start. Al was pretty depressed because he had to say goodbye to his dollar store sunglasses. He set them on the spreader of the combine while we were getting it set, then the wind blew them off and "someone" stepped on them. This is his theory as to why one should never spend more than $1 for sunglasses.

Al's brother, Jeff, came down for a visit and he brought a load...a big load...of sweet corn from his two acre patch. His two kids, Taegan and Carson, are going on the circuit selling corn to raise their own money. Marilyn can't wait to dig into the corn...it's been a long time coming.

We finished the field we were on, then moved across to the three quarter sections that are the last of the oats. It was another 130 acre day and Marilyn stayed late to help finish all but the last quarter.

If the rain stays away, we could see the last of the oats tomorrow...
