Finished

On the satellite map there is a little speck of red surrounded by yellow, and we are sitting under it right now. A real torrential downpour! We really don't need any more rain right now, but thankfully we are finished.

We were able to start combining wheat Monday night. Tuesday was a good day and we finished wheat harvest at about 2:00 in the afternoon. We immediately started baling straw and by early evening we had a third of it in the haymow. It rained Tuesday night/Wednesday morning. Thursday was a sunny, breezy day and the straw dried fast. Today we started baling after lunch and by evening all the straw was baled and put away. Cousin Lee also came and baled 80+ large round bales for us this afternoon. It was some of the most pleasant weather that we have ever had on baling day. Thanks to all who helped!

So it's a good feeling to be looking out at the rain knowing how much the Lord allowed us to accomplish this week.

And another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to him that sat on the cloud, Thrust in thy sickle, and reap: for the time is come for thee to reap; for the harvest of the earth is ripe.
16And he that sat on the cloud thrust in his sickle on the earth; and the earth was reaped.
Revelations 14:15,16
