The harvest is done!!!!

Well, after 195 hours (between the two of us) in 7 days, we have been able to finish the combining...and just in time...the day after we finished it started snowing!! It was an exhausting week but it feels so good to have gotten it all finished. For a while there it didn't look like we would get the majority of our canola, so we're all feeling pretty thankful. All in all, we couldn't be happier with how the harvest went. We got everything done as it was ready and have been able to get other projects done in the meantime too. For the very last field (400 acres) we had five combines going at once so we were able to get a lot done in a relatively short amount of time. That was pretty fun. We'll have some photos of that operation posted in our gallery shortly.
Now that the field work is done, we will be working on getting all the equipment, etc ready to be stored for the winter as well as hauling some bales and doing some more work with the cows. That should keep us pretty busy until we're ready to go...IN 22 SLEEPS!!!!
This week, on Wednesday, David and I are going with my mom and dad to Edmonton for my mom's MRI check-up on Thursday. We'll let you know how it goes. David's parents will be meeting us there for the weekend so it will be really good to hang out with them for a bit. We'll also be able to do some shopping for a few things that we're still needing for the trip... it will take a bit of the pressure off for the one day that we have in Vancouver before flying out to Bangkok. That's it for now!
