Kylee DeBock – DeBock Harvesting
Today I am writing my post from the comfort of my warm camper.
We have had a lot of rain days here in North Dakota. We haven’t cut in a week! Since we had so many rain days in the forecast, Levi, Kitty, and Ryan headed back to Oklahoma to get Levi’s wheat planted. They went from bundling up because of the 45 degree mornings to the hot Oklahoma weather of 90+. Levi and Ryan have been working hard on the farm for the last week and should be done with the farming and planting by the weekend or beginning of the week.
Hopefully by the time everyone returns, the sun will start shining and we can get back into the fields! The kids, however, have been praying for rain! I told them that we can’t head home until we get finished up with the crops. Colston replied, “I know, mom, the longer it rains the longer we get to stay here!” They love Powers Lake so much!! This school is simply amazing. I went up and visited Riggin’s class one day and it is such a well-run school with so many opportunities for my kids!! It may be only a short time but I am so glad the boys get to take advantage of this school!
The school wanted to help the hurricane victims in Texas so they took donations from the students and faculty for a week. They were able to gather up eight boxes of supplies. They collected toothbrushes, toothpaste, combs, deodorant, razors, shaving cream, soap, shampoo, diapers, wipes, hand sanitizer, lotion, sunscreen, wash cloths, disinfectant wipes, band-aids, aspirin, Tylenol , and antibiotic cream! What an outpouring of love from this school to be shared with the victims of Hurricane Harvey!
This past Wednesday, the boys got out of school at noon. And, luckily, that was the one sunny day in the forecast so we loaded up and went to the field. Dillon worked on the elevator chains and replaced feeder chain slates while the boys and I changed out sickle sections. Even though we worked hard, it was a productive and fun family day!!
Happy Harvesting!
God Bless,
Kylee DeBock
