Rain Delay

We've had a beautiful fall so far - able to work in the field almost every day. So even though we are not done harvesting yet( some of our neighbors are), it was nice to have it rain today so we can relax a bit and regroup. I had to quit early a couple of times last week; once for potluck, and one night the entire EHS Cross Country team was at our house for supper. Because of the rain we were able to get the water pump replaced on one of our trucks, so hopefully it will make it thru harvest without further problems. This was the truck that was parked loaded in a field along route 24 last weekend broken down. We are about 2/3 done, so the end is in sight. The wheat is up and starting to look good - it's always nice to see a green field while everything else is brown and black. The pigs are eating lots of feed and growing. Life is Good.

For your amusement and amazement, here is an old picture of one of our celebrity pigs being potty trained.
