The Symphony of Harvest

Watching the Combines from the Patio

The warm harvest weather continues. Harley's nephew was combining wheat on our home quarter yesterday. I sat outside on the patio during Happy Hour. Chewy was laying on the lawn close to me in the shade. There's an opening in the trees to the west. I could see the combines working with the straight cut headers turning, straw dust blowing. They have a 3 ton truck that they chase the combines with. They unload the combines on the go. Then the truck driver races back to the yard to unload into a grain bin. I could hear engines roaring, the auger clattering. The symphony of harvest.
