Rain Stops Harvest

The photo below is a western Colorado sunrise Monday on the way back to the farm.


Some steam rising in the ealry morning sun, at the Gypsum Colorado Gypsum plants makes for an interesting sight.


Farm wife has returned, but rain has stopped harvest. Some "old" farmers might be right; this might be the year that it is really hard to get harvest done and crops out of the field! Despite the hard freeze last week, Farmer Ken was still having trouble late last week with soybeans that looked dry, but were green in the pod.

So today, we wait for the rain to end and the sun to return. Farmer Ken is taking a part off of the grain platform to get some work done on it, since it wasn't working exactly right.
It's too wet to clean up the garden and flower beds, so will work on projects in the house.
When the sun shines, we will be going long, hard hours.
