update to harvest

Check out the blue sky!!!

My job, baling straw.

Del, straight combining oats.

Dumping oats on the grain trucks.
Common sight this fall-too much rain.
My other job, hauling and unloading grain.

Del combining barley.

Got thru my nights last week-Tues & Wed. Thursday, hmmmm, I helped Del in the afternoon-stuff in the yard. Thursday evening, we finally had the hockey meeting that was supposed to have been on Tuesday evening. Friday, I was at work from 830-130 for an inservice. back home after that for a bit and then we went to pick up the boys from school and off to the city. We actually went to watch the Bombers football game. Had a great time up in the nose bleed section, with northern gale force winds. Yes, we dressed appropriately. Then we picked up Alyssa, and home we went. Saturday, we farmed. Back in the field, combining. And I hauled grain. My dad came for a few hours in the afternoon, to haul grain, so I got some yardwork and house work done. Then he left at supper and it was all mine again. Del & I saw a mother bear with 3 cubs on Saturday evening on our oats field. I've never seen that before. Sunday, we actually went to church. It's been so long. Then for lunch and the afternoon, we went to Rog & Anita's. My 'southern' cousin was out with her family. We had a wonderful time together. I even got my toe nails done by Kelly! Very special!! Then, in the evening, Del, I, and the boys had a quiet evening at home. Wow, that was awesome!!! Hardly knew what to do. This morning I was back at work. Worked a 12 hr day today, and again tomorrow. Then I'm off for a few days. Hopefully we can finish combining this week. The weather today was not cooperating with that wish though. Looked cloudy and a high of 10 or something. Bring on the sun!!!


My mom has had some issues with bloody noses, so she had blood work done today. Her white count and platelets were a little low, but thats expected at this stage of chemo. Time will tell......
