Harvest

It's safe to say we are on the downhill side of summer.  It's been a warm dry week - too warm at times but all things considered it could be worse, right?

I dug the garlic this week.  I had planted a small amount of four different kinds to see which grew the best and which we like the best.  I'm pretty happy with how these two look:

Kevin and Rollie have been harvesting the grain.  Wheat, oats, and rye are now either  in the bin or in the trailers waiting to be unloaded.

First the grain is cut using the swather - kind of a funny looking machine if you ask me! 
After it drys for a couple of days, then it is combines.  Like Rollie's umbrella?
Forest and Ranger moved house today - first they both got hoof trim - a stinky procedure where Ranger is concerned - Kevin and I both reeked of him when we were through.  

Fun fact - goats like sunflowers!

 Ole'!


So that's what has been going on around here.  Until next time, be well friends.
