We Are Done

As of today, we are officially done with harvest.  Bill & Tim got done with anhydrous today, and I ripped the last field.  We got done combining Thurs. evening just before the elevator closed.  I was right behind the combine ripping that field when Bill's brother Jim got here so he took over.  Then he ripped the bean field end rows over the weekend.  Now all of the equipment has to be power washed and put away before the snow starts although we did have an inch one day last week.

We had a fairly warm but windy day yesterday so I got busy and took out window screens and scrubbed them and our outdoor chairs and things to get them put away clean.  Also cut off iris leaves and some other perennials.  I'd like to get a few windows washed but supposedly rain is coming in the next couple of days so maybe it's a good thing I haven't gotten to them yet.
