Harvest time......it never felt more like home!

Sean and I went home a few weekends ago and it was harvest time. No one particularly likes harvest time because of all the breakdowns, heat, hard work to be done, no air conditioning all which lead to crabby boys on the farm. However I always looked forward to this special time of year. It is always so fun to watch the crops grow all year long and then see their hard work pay off when the wheat is ready for harvest. Below are some pictures that I captured of my Dad, Brother and Grandpa hard at work. They don't have the newest and greatest equipment but I like to think that it makes them stronger. Sure they want all of that fancy stuff but then would it really be as fun. The older equipment, eventually after a few set backs, gets the job done.

Sean and I walked around the field as they were busy at work and he found a whole pile of wheat that was swathed but didn't get combined. So he picked it all up and moved it to a row that still needed to be picked up. This made him feel usefull.

This is grandpas dog Spot and she was with us in the field and she found, killed and ate a mouse. All in a days work for a dog!

This is Grandpa in the combine. He is gonna be 90 in a few weeks and he loves to help out when he can.

This is Jamie's combine, the one without air. I admire him for sticking it out all day long as I am to big of a woosy and could never do that.

While the men were busy at work Sean, Gma and I went to her brothers house and picked some sweet corn to freeze. Sean always has to make a silly picture hence this one with him and his "ears" of corn.

Then Gma taught him how to cut it off the cob so that we can cook and freeze it. I just love being able to help out Gma with her work. Soon Mom and I will have a huge batch of corn to freeze and I can't wait. After all of our fun it was time to head back to Fargo, the bustling town that I call home. At least I can see a field in the distance behind all of the apt buildings.
