Sowing

Our soybeans were finally dry enough to harvest, so we spent the whole week working on them. As soon as the first field was finished, we prepared it to sow wheat. I finished sowing the wheat Thursday night. It's a good felling to have that job behind us so that we can concentrate on harvest.

Saturday night after I left the field, we went to a family gathering at the "Sourdough Ranch"(may Uncle Dick rest in peace). My wife had some of her first cousins in town for the week. One came from Alaska, one from Texas, one from Colorado, and then the locals. It was good to visit with them, even if it was a short evening. We were invited to visit all three places and hope that we can find the time to do it someday.

Thou fool, that which thou sowest is not quickened, except it die:
And that which thou sowest, thou sowest not that body that shall be, but bare grain, it may chance of wheat, or of some other grain:
But God giveth it a body as it hath pleased him, and to every seed his own body.

1 Corinthians 15:36-38
