Well, we've survived it once again. Harvest. One of the best, worst, most exhausting, most thrilling times of the year. Everyone is out in their fields, working hard, and waving at each other as they drive back and forth to the grain elevators. People start getting giddy because harvesting their wheat means they might actually have some money in the bank for a few minutes. Children get excited because they might get to take a ride on the big machinery. Take Anna for example...
She loves to ride around with Ty's Dad just watching the combine do it's thing.
Here's Abby helping me take dinner (or out here it's called supper) out to our "new" big truck.
Hard to imagine that one day she might just be big enough to drive that thing.
Harvest Time is also a great time to appreciate the marvel of God's creation. Spring and Summer create just the right conditions (most years) for the wheat to grow. Longer days means you can wait for just the right conditions in the wheat, and then still have plenty of time to cut before dark. Of course, the best part of Harvest is when it's over, and you finally get your hubby/Daddy back!

I love your harvest photos. Have you ever thought of entering them at the State Fair? Anybody can do it. You can enter for free by August 15. You can mail them to Hutch, you don't have to drive down. The details are on this webpage: https://kansasstatefair.com/registration/competitioninfo.php?dept=10
