Kristy Misener – Misener Family Harvesters
I get a whole new appreciation for the harvest crew this year. I am driving combine again instead of the feed-us-fill-in-can-you?-girl. While driving that big ‘ole machine has its perks, it also means being in the field all day. (Well, duh!).
Dan and I seemed to be too occupied with stuff to eat, so we ate the lunches I packed at breakfast after we’d got home…at 11:30 pm. Thank goodness it rained so I don’t have to hurry this am.
Yesterday, my little Leslie took care of his granny. He hightailed it over to my combine to wipe my windows clear of the dust.
It was hard to get a quality photo since he worked so quickly! But you get the idea. Love that little guy!
Definition of a HarvestHER - a strong woman willing to do whatever it takes to get the harvest in. She must have these qualities:
1. Be ready to go at the drop of a hat...sometimes without a lunchbox.
2. Has removed the word impossible from her vocabulary!
3. Can hold a baby, take care of a toddler and drive a tractor or combine all at the same time.
4. Must be able to cook for a crew - large or small.
5. Must be able to read minds.
6. Must be able to banter with a parts man until he realizes you DO know what you're talking about.
7. Must be the entertainment director for those rainy days.
8. Be a wife, mom, friend, helper, cook, problem solver, taxi driver or extra crew hand at all times.
9. Can handle the call that makes you react, "You need what? When?" Dropping everything you're doing to make it happen.
10. At the end of the day say, "I really do love this life".
