September 19

View of the day-Filling up with canola on our last field for a while.

Al unloaded his truck first thing in the morning, then picked Marilyn up to move the combine back to the yard from the field. While she got it set up for canola, Al and the farmer moved the pickup and grain truck to the field then went out to the barley field to bring the grain cart home.

Marilyn made the first round on the field then Al took over while she went in to make lunch. Once she returned it was back into the combine for the rest of the day. The day ended with the 105 acre field getting finished by 10pm. Al had a truckload so he took it to the yard and Marilyn drove the combine behind him, while the cart got tarped and stayed out at the field. Al drained the oil on the combine to do the regular oil change in the morning and we went back to the camper.

We got a lot of great pictures today and it was tough to decide which ones would make the cut. We had to go with two that Al took, and the rest will go into the archives so the winter photos don't appear before their appointed season. It still is officially summer, but fall will be here in a couple of days. The leaves must be mother nature's way of taking our minds off the depressing thought that the days are getting shorter and winter will be knocking at the door sooner than we think. But that's months away, right?

So at this point we are done combining for the time being, and it seems to be in the nick of time. The rain started falling around 11:30pm and it is still coming down now at 1:30am.

One would think we were moving somewhere...
