Harvest



 The last half of September kept me busy making harvest meals down at the seed farm. Usually 10-12 meals each supper which had to delivered to sometimes different locations a ways apart. It ended up being a challenge getting to the location since there weren't many landmarks or road signs! By the end I was getting more familiar with the area and the roads.

Worked on different menus so there would be some variety with the meals.

Main dishes: 
lasagna, chicken wraps, baked spaghetti, pulled pork, stuffed shells, enchiladas
Mom did a smoked salmon that was awesome and went over big with everyone!

Sides:
garlic bread, coleslaw, baked beans, caesar salad, wild rice, nifty carrots, mandarin jello salad, corn

Desserts:
cinnabons, ultimate chocolate cake, brownies, confetti squares, oreo cheesecake cupcakes

This meal was Baked Spaghetti, garlic bread, and caesar salad.
 I never got pictures of the full meals because it was crazy right at the end trying to dish all the meals out and keep them warm. :)

 And, Cinnabons for dessert!

 Mom has a bigger kitchen which was great to work in since there were so many dishes being used. This was a familiar sight.

My clean truck didn't stay clean for long delivering meals to the fields. lol.

Typical sight every meal time. :)

 Always lots of activity at the main seed farm yard.


New bins being constructed.

 Used more grain bags for storage since some of the land was several miles from the main yard.

My dad and brother putting in long hours and keeping the farm running smoothly.

Glimpse into my holiday


The beginning of October I went on a 2 week vacation. First I went over and helped on our other farm where harvest was in full swing. Was only there for a little over a day but I finally had the opportunity to drive a combine...and a JD at that! Wish I could have spent more time there but it was time for me to fly down to IA to attend a good friend's wedding. Enjoyed catching up with old friends and meeting new ones. The day after the wedding I flew over to VT where I spent the rest of the week with another great friend and her family. So many great memories! Will post a few pics and more will follow in a later post.
