HARVEST TIME


Pake and Tate laying in some cotton!
Kerry Don on his 8 row stripper... by the time he got back around to get supper it was dark! They started stripping cotton yesterday, 10/30/08! They worked until midnight and got 8 modules done!

Joe Byrd dumping into the module builder.... Pake and Tate leaning up against the first module of the season!


SITTIN ON THE TURN ROW
The boys sat on the hood of the jeep as we were waiting for KD to make a round.
It got dark in the meantime!


The boys and the purty white cotton!
The day before they started strippin cotton, the were cutting maze right beside it...
Pake, Hunter, Bray and Tate.


Pake and Tate in the cotton!


The boys delivering supper to Butch. He was running the 4 row stripper!



Hunter, Tate, Bray and Pake sitting on the back of KD's pickup when we took supper on Tuesday night.


The boys love playing in the grain trailer! My excursion was full of seed though! It gets in their pockets, pants, socks.... etc.... But they think it's the greatest thing!


Pake climbing in the trailer!


Tater getting out of the trailer!



The boys in the semi! They cut maze on Tuesday. Wish I had gotten a picture of the combines and the maze. It was a good crop!


We are excited that it's harvest time! But, it means long hours for the guys and lots of trips to the field. We're going to try to cook some yummy meals or hope that El Sarape, Sonic, El Camino, El Burrito, Ernies, or Conestoga will. BUT I will try to get some homemade ones in there part of the time!

Love the pictures! I miss seeing all the cotton, although we do have a beautiful fall up here...I really need to go get pictures of the leaves soon!

All I can think when I see that much cotton is Bless you! I go to sneezing like crazy this time of year. It looks like a lot of fun for boys at that age.
