Adam and Morgan in the combine cutting the grain! This is where it all comes from folks!

Ted's lil' sis, Lissa, has been staying with us for the last couple of days, so she has been getting a lot of harvest time in, and it has been great! She is such a trooper! We wake up so early, and work hard during the day until we can't go anymore...which is until around the time the sun is way past going down...and she has never complained once!
Starting to get the trailer ready to unload the grain

Dumping our load of grain at the grainery...Lots of Wheaties here!
The sunset after a long hard day of work...what a great reward!We start our days with servicing the combine, by putting oil on the chains, and greasing the grease certs, combining, and filling the trucks full of wheat. Then, we drive the trucks to the grainery and unload them. This is done several times a day. During the time the trucks are being filled, we do other things, like pick the garden, move pipe, check the farms, check picots, and do other repairs that needs to be done on the farm. It is a lot of work and makes for a long day, but you sleep amazingly at night!

Kaylee- you are definitely not a lazy person, that's for sure. Even though it is lots of work, it looks like you are enjoying it.
Holy wheat! How do you manage to look so cute while you are working like that? I would look a total mess.
I remember those days. And surprisingly I miss them. I was pretty little still when dad was growing wheat. But I remember a lot.
