9-25-2015 Friday Night Day 5

Day 5---Motor home has been at Bradd and Hall since Monday.  We haven't been to check on it since Tuesday morning.

Glen has been driving a tractor pulling a grain hopper yesterday and today for Dave.

Tractor and combine.  Combine has a 35-foot head.  Combine empties into the buggy is pulling. 

 Glen's rig

I have been reminded of some farming practices that I once knew.  Combining does not start first thing in the morning.  There is a wait while the dew or fog dries off the soybeans.  Both yesterday and today the combining didn't start until 12:30 or 1:00 p.m.

I have enjoyed reading the trilogy of books by Wanda E. Brunstetter, "The Half-Stitched Amish Quilting Club, The Tattered Quilt, and The Healing Quilt".  The musical we enjoyed this last Tuesday night was based on the first book "The Half-Stitched Amish Quilting Club."

It is great weather for harvesting, or for anything.
