There's been a festive mood this week with extra family around. Last night we all had supper at the in-laws, and it felt like the Christmases we have. The only ones missing were K who was working and our niece and great niece in South Dakota. Someone (probably her brother) suggested that we call her and tell her it was just like Christmas but without her. She would have had a meltdown so her mom wouldn't let us. A bunch of us had lunch together today and supper again tonight. Good times.
The guys (and sister) worked on combines yesterday and cut a sample in the afternoon, but it was still too wet to go. They taught their sister all about welding. It was fun to hear her take on the family dynamics as they were working together. She asked J who he listens to when his dad tells him one thing and his uncle tells him something different. He says he just does what he wants!
They finally started cutting this afternoon and worked until dark when it cooled off and got tough. Lots of moisture in the air, and there is more rain in the forecast for tonight and tomorrow. The extra family is leaving in the morning, so harvest will be much less fun from here on out. Our brother-in-law took a ton of photos while he was here, some of which I will post later.
