Early Snow

We have another delay but for snow not rain!! We had light snow until about noon today so no field work. We have 160 more acres of beans to do. This weather is not good for them. This afternoon, Bill installed sensors in the tank of the combine. They'll let him know when corn is up to the top so it won't spill over.

This is the intake I ran over the other day. Bill says the cost of a new one is going to come out of my pay!

We're already really enjoying our stove in the great room. The fire is cozy and it warms up the area in a hurry! It's a propane stove so it has the fake gas logs and will even run when the electricity goes out. It's on a thermostat just like you'd have for a furnace.

I finally programmed the furnace thermostat which was easy and didn't require reading the instructions. We've had so many new things at once that we're tired of reading the books! It's nice to have the temp. go down automatically at night and warm up before we get up in the morning.

UPDATE at 5:00: they have just gone out to try to combine corn here at our house.
