Kristy Misener – Misener Family Harvesters
Another hot day here in Oklahoma!
It’s only 9:30 a.m. and it’s already 86 degrees. Lunches for the field included fresh bing cherries-so good in the heat. They’ll probably cuss a bit at the pits, but I bet they’ll all be gone before they get home tonight.
Dan had two helpers here this morning…Martha spent the night and Lauren came in time for breakfast. They had to load up and take the generator with them today. A repair project needed electricity.
The fuel tank on the tractor decided to be cranky yesterday. Dan said there was something in the bottom of the tank to clean out. Of course, he tried the generator before leaving since it hadn’t been used in a while. Naturally, the carburetor was gummed up and the can of carb cleaner was nearly empty, so I made a quick run for two cans (one to use and one for the shelf). Dan had it going in no time and off to the field!
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".
