Corn Harvest

Corn harvest Twenty-Fourteen has been going on awhile now! But finally one of our own corn fields was dry enough to cut! (My farmer husband works for another farmer so they both have fields). (And not all our corn is ready-just a little was dried down enough for now.) 

We got to go out on the four-wheeler and await our turn for a ride! It was right around our home place and the road across! It started out a chilly morning.

 There is the Farmer in the combine picking corn! (I just learned that its not cutting corn, its picking corn because the corn header doesn't have a sickle on it cutting the corn. Who knew. Haha.) =)

 Riding along. First time to ride this harvest season! This is about the only kind of date we get around here =) But I'll take it!

 Simon thoroughly enjoying time with his farmer Daddy doing what he loves! Farming! He loves all things tractor, combine, truck. You know- big machinery.

Simon loved that tire! Brief moment while we were stopped, he got to hop up there. It was a lot of in and out- trading riders, waiting for more semi-trucks, going back home for nap time, getting lunches and suppers ready... Then the combine broke down for a few hours, so that always makes farmers real happy... =) But its just a part of the process.

 The golden flow of corn is so pretty coming out of the auger! Can't wait to see more pictures that my sis-in-law got! She's way better at picture taking than me!

And when the farmer says to everyone that the elevator is about close so if you wanna come-jump in, you all jump in, no shoes, no clothes. Whatever. We are real classy around here. They were so excited to see how the corn dumps out of the bottom of the hopper.

So there is still some corn harvest left this year and then they will be on to bean harvest and drilling wheat before we know it, busy time in the farm life. But it was fun to have a day seeing my farmer! He's the best!
