Another Beautiful Iowa Sunset

Last night I was typing an e mail to Peggy and noticed the sky was pink and told her I better go check out the sunset.  This is what I found!

Bill, Tim and Bryan have been working in our new shed getting things ready to pour concrete.  Bill's hoping they can pour it early next week.   They're going to do the outer thirds first and then the middle.

They've also been spraying beans (for weeds) and believe it or not, planting some beans.  We were not able to plant the last 300 or so acres of beans due to the ground being so wet and it got too late so now those fields are weeds.  What they're doing is having the elevator spread bean seed with a terra-gator and then Bryan is discing them in.  This will be a cover crop to keep the dirt from blowing for one thing.  The frost will kill the plants this fall and they'll stay there until next spring.  This is the first time they've ever had to do anything like this.

We were having lunch out on the porch today and heard a really loud June bug.  Bill says the old wives' tale says that when you hear those it's six weeks till the first frost!  That would be very early.
