We started to cut about 3:00pm today. The farmkid and I hung around home most of the day till 4:30pm.
I have a small hobby business that I make and sell homemade jam for. I whipped my first batch of Apricot jam up! Super excited about that!
My brother-in-law is helping this year as much as he can since my father-in-law is unable to help. He drove trucks while I helped weigh them and took care of the grain elevator leg and getting the grain in the bin. Hubs was the combine driver.
Supper was grilled chicken breast, green beans wrapped in bacon, watermelon, and homemade “ranger” cookies.
The farmkid was able to help with the trucks as well! It was a good day of harvest, We stopped for the night about 10:30pm!
