Ready to head home!!!

It's really interesting to ride during corn harvest. It's my favorite of all the crops to see being harvested.

A regular combine header looks like these. The bars that you see going across in front of the combine go around like a paddle wheel on a boat. The paddles gently push the grain into the combine where little blades cut it off and it's pulled into the combine to separate the stalk from the grain. We use this header to cut wheat, soybeans and milo. I think that in these pictures that you'll see wheat and soybeans being cut. It really is interesting!

As for going with my husband, he really is a dear. He's gotten to where he really babies me and so going with him is a real treat. I do have a really special guy and we have a great marriage. We do have our moments but they never seem to last for long. Riding in the pickup wasn't much fun but being with him definitely was!!!!! I even told him the "boob" joke that Judy posted!!! He figured it out before I got to the punch line!!!!! I wish that you could come and join us for harvest for a couple of days, Gina. It's very interesting.
