Fall on the Farm

The warm summer temperatures have FINALLY given way to cooler nights and beautiful days, and fall harvest has started at the farm.  This is The Farmer's busiest season; he's got soybeans and milo to harvest and wheat to plant.  The other night he was out planting wheat and when I took some supper to him in the field, I noticed this pretty milo field across the road.

Last night he was cutting soybeans, and I went out to take him some supper and get in a little combine time myself.  (Just riding, not driving.  The Farmer has offered several times to teach me how to drive the combine, but let's face it: I once drove my car over a curb, shredding my tire, because a spider crawled across my leg while I was driving.  I am probably not the girl you want to be entrusting with heavy duty machinery.)

While I was waiting for him to stop so I could jump in with him, I snapped these pictures of the sunset:


With the long days where The Farmer is in the field all day and I'm at work, Harlee has been spending a lot of time outside.  The exception was this weekend, when I was laid up all weekend with a nasty cold.  She got lots of cuddle time with me on the couch, and of course she begged for food every chance she got.
 "You gonna finish all of that?"
