great to have her come down for a visit

We will soon be heading back to Canada!!! Will be good to be back. Probably next week sometime we will be heading out,,,depending on if many more jobs come up here. Crop is soon ready in saskatchewan.
Was great to have angie and allan here last weekend...and now Tamara is here with us till end of month. Yeah!! It sure is hard to believe to look at the calendar and realize tht summer is almost over....but the temperatures at night are telling us that too. Hope all is well with those that read this.

a small village tucked in a valley....many are like that here

Falls at Great Falls...about half hour from where we are

taking a break??..actually waiting for the dew to dry off

in a field near Flagler

had a good run of no rain for 7 days...worked from 8 till 11PM...made up for the sitting around days

cheese balls...only $4 for all those

took a tour up into Nebraska one day

Flagler, Colorado

Pictures will come maybe tomorrow....but we are here in Flagler, Colorado. The guys sat for almost a full week waiting for the rains to quit. It rained every evening after having georgeous sunny days...until Friday. They have been working steady since then. To all those that thought Keith might get bored...you were wrong. He is loving it...every field is different. The wheat yield here is much better than Kansas.  For those of you who look up on the map...they are cutting up in Cope yesterday and today. Cope is north east of Flagler....and I drove up there to take supper to them. In a 26 mile stretch I counted 9 houses...and there is a sign on that road that says "No snowplowing from 7Pm- 5AM"...can you imagine living with that much space between your neighbours!!!You certainly would have privacy. Enjoyed the church that we went to here...SO friendly. I don't think we got out of there the first Sunday without anyone not introducing themselves to us. Made us feel very welcome. It's a good practice for every church to adopt don't you think?? In this town the school has a indoor swimming pool that is open all summer to the public....so I have enjoyed that very much. I made a list of all the books we have read...and trying to jot down things I'm learning. I am on my 9th book. Some have been very challenging! keith has read 3 so far. Ok...so that is my update for today. Will try to get pics up soon.

Harvest in Goodland, Kansas

crop is much better here in Goodland compared  to Syracruse

field  of sunflowers

much better yield

40' heads...lots to watch

The cutest baby ever!!!!

planning on leaving Goodland tomorrow...off to Flagler, Colorado next. However, we will not have free internet there...so the updates might be scarce after today. I will try my best.

wishing he had been an employee years ago!!!

our last night at Syracruse

I don't sit around ALL day...I do make these guys their suppers and deliver to field. Great bunch of guys to cook for

Oklahoma 3 hr tour

We had time to take 3 hours to say we were in Oklahoma

A man outstanding in his field!!!

not sure this will show up well for you to see...but its a directory of who lives where in the country

this was a bunker silo for corn for a huge feedlot....they are big here...and very smelly

green part is irrigated, brown is not....shows how important water is

a very typical midwest scene...towns are where the elevators are

this dairy farm had about 7 barns this size....but they were all empty

I should have cropped this one....but here in OK there are many pigs barns...10 -12 barns on each site
