Indian Summer

Northern Cass School where the boys are attending PreK classes

I guess we're having what you could call an indian summer. Granted, North Dakota isn't known for its stellar temperatures but this year has proven to be one for the record books.

Following a cold and rainy spring and fall we've been treated to temperatures in the mid 80s for the past several days.

I didn't think I would have to rescue the baby pool from the barn but it looks like we might have a few days to "pool it."

Soybean harvest kicked off last Friday and rolls on without much drama. Besides a few minor breakdowns the soybean harvest of 2011 is going rather well.

Nick is combining...and then dumping trucks when they get full.

So far, so good and we expect to roll right into corn harvest following soybeans.

If all goes according to plan, we expect to wrap up combining beans on Thurs. or Fri.

The only gitch in our plan is a local meteorologist forcasting rain for the end of the week.

We shall see...

p.s. Jack & Owen love riding with their dad but Owen informed us the other day, he and Jack will be farming with John Deere combines...

again, we shall see!!
