Inside the Combine

On this occasion, we are visiting "dad" and riding with him for a minute. Maybe I shouldn't say we try to squish my whole family in the cab. Good thing we are small.
We are harvesting grain and are just finishing one little section - not the whole field, nor the whole harvest. We still have lots to go.
So, this is us - farming. I thought you might enjoy being a part of it all.

Spelt Harvest

The long awaited time has arrived. We started slowly harvesting spelt. Our first load has been transported far away to be cleaned and packaged. If you are anxiously awaiting and have signed up on my list (www.histakes-spelt.com/spelt.php), you will be alerted when it is on its way back. The time is coming!

I've taken a few pictures to share with you the beauty of Idaho havest time...

This is one of our wheat fields that makes me sing "America The Beautiful" as it turns from green to amber! I love watching the grain ripen and change colors.
This is actually spelt. This part is about ready for harvest!
And here we are - havesting. The combine just went past, the guys are making sure it is thrashing right, and we are in business for harvesting. I love havest in Idaho.

And just to add to the mood, this was our sunset tonight

Happy harvesting!

p.s. If I'm not such a faithful blogger in the next little while, it is because I am out driving a combine. I will catch up as soon as my employer will let me have a break. ;)
