Wheat Harvest Time

The guys started cutting wheat last week. I took ice cream up to Wayside.

The guys love ice cream breaks... especially the little punks.

I don't know if harvest is all that fun for the big boys, but for the little ones... well they love it!

Hunter, Bray, Pake, Tate and Kerry Don

The punks climbing on the combine.

That's my oldest boy... he thinks he's very grown up. Uhhh he's eleven, but he feels he has lots of responsibilities on the farm..... well except when I talk him into going to the lake with me =)


Tate and Bray playing in the grain trailer.

I personally think wheat is really pretty... the problem is this year, it doesn't really matter how pretty it looks pouring into the grain trailer... it ain't worth nothin' =(

This is the famous JoeByrd (he says his name as one word).

Here he poses with his classic '69 Pete.

I love it and everyone loves JoeByrd!

What in the heck? Ok I will explain.... when we are chasing the harvesters around and trying to find them in this vast flat country... we have specific landmarks we refer to. This here is Dolly Parton. Everyone that lives in Swisher County knows what you're talking about.

These two took a break from harvest and came to lake with me...

you might be a redneck if you wear your boots with your swimming trunks.

Nothing more pretty than combines running in a pretty golden wheat field.

The drivers are always real happy to see you about 7 of an evening!

Clay Bret is here to help his uncles and KD is real happy that he has someone to run his combine, because we're off to Dallas Thursday. Not for fun though.... Pake is having reconstructive surgery on his arm and hand at Scottish Rites Children's Hospital. Yall say a prayer for our brave Pake (and please say one for his Momma too cuz she's alittle freaked out)

Anyway... back on the farm they'll still be cutting wheat... Thanks to everyone here helping and to the girls that will be taking them supper.
