Even though Avery was taking her first trip in a wheat truck to the elevator, she still needed to eat when she wanted to eat.
More of the tail gate party at Holland's field, aka lunch - Joey, Jane, Matt, Garrett, Nancy and Harvey.
I stopped by the house on my way back to the field after I had been at the elevator. Sam was entertaining his cousin Avery.
We had a bit of a work stoppage as we prepared to move to another field. Matt and Joey found a bit of shade for their afternoon discussion.
It didn't take Harvey too long to join Joey and Matt in the shade while we waited on the crew to gather.
At supper, Susan had the pleasure of holding Brooklyn. Lori was summoned to join Matt and Joey as they returned to the farm to sort a pen of cattle. Even though it is harvest, the cattle work still continues.
Kelly and Brian (the school principal turned grain cart driver for a few days) enjoyed a spaghetti casserole for supper. The water in the background is Lake Wilson or actually is where the Saline River becomes the lake. It is not an optical illusion, the water is just a few feet from where they are sitting.
Of course, when you are that close to the water, Garrett and the rest of the kids found a way to stay entertained by it.
Kelly and I finished cutting the field while Joey, Matt and Lori sorted cattle. At about the same time, Kevin had a breakdown with the grain truck so Harvey and the rest of the crew left to assist him. At the end of the evening it was just Kelly in one combine and Garrett and I in the other one. We laughed that we were finished prior to the 10 pm. Kelly thought we should go to the bar since it was so early in the evening. Usually, we are still hard at it at 10.
