Harvest means...

to me
Long days and even longer nights
bagged lunch & supper in the field
family
dirty sweaty faces
farm pants and ball caps
working together
water lots and lots of H2O is consumed 
Machinery 
weather updates daily ... even hourly . 
summer coming to a end 
but fall beginning

tired
ups 
   and 
     downs

My Farm Girl

You have been quite the farm girl these days. 
You get up before you even eat you get a t-shirt on and pull on your farm pants .
Just for the chance of not being ready when dad is ready to hit the combine . 
So these pants of been on you each and everyday .  
You have put in on a average of 8-14 hour days with your dad. 
(papa usually radios you before he leaves to see if you want to get a ride home and you radio back No .)
You take 1-2 books 
your lunch and water 
I quite often don't see you until morning as you are home by the time I have went to bed. 
You love the fact that dad and you have to have a shower when you get in .
You think thats so cool to have a shower so late. 
Your dad says you are the best lil partner to have in the combine . 
You sit contently
 telling stories, 
reading stories, 
singing , 
or 
just looking out the window . 
Your sister usually is with you during a few day light hours
 but you are in for the long haul . 
I am so grateful for this time I have to get this house back in order with one tiny tot home and usually napping .
I too can work like a work horse .
