It's Still Not Ripe!

nI took this picture last Sunday after church over at the Schrag ground. See all of the green stalks? This is some pretty short wheat. You can also see the sand that has been blown in from all of the wind storms this summer.











I don't remember harvest ever being this late -- irrigated wheat maybe, but NOT dry land! A spray plane was out this morning spraying all of the fields here on the home place -- we presume with Roundup (or something similar). This will not only kill the weeds in the fields that have thrived in the wet spring, but will also push the wheat to maturity.





We made another trip to Spokane today. This time for Forry to check in with his semi-annual visit to his dermatologist. Like many farmers who spent a lot of time in the sun, he's had his share of lesions. But, this time it was a short visit -- the doctor didn't find anything he wanted to freeze or cut off!
