What a Difference a Week Makes...

I took these pictures out in the flat yesterday after church. It's amazing how much difference there is in color from just a week ago. (See July 2 - It's Gonna Be a Late Harvest) But, it's certainly not a uniform color across the field.

As you look more closely, you can see that there is a great variation among the wheat heads from almost golden to rather green. When you open them up, you can tell the kernels are not hard yet, they're still gummy to chew.

It was quiet early this morning and Forry got a load of spray out onto the Penner Hill before it began to get breezy again. He's VERY gradually getting the spraying done.

We talked with our friend Bill in Seattle this afternoon. We met him and Leslie at a Life on Wheels conference in Lewiston a couple of years ago. They are RV wannabees who have had their house on the market for over a year. It finally sold last week and now they are actively looking at potential RVs as they have to be out of the house by the 21st. We are VERY excited for them!

I marinated some pork strips this afternoon and made a stir-fry for dinner. I hadn't realized I was out of rice, so made up some bulgur to serve with it. It actually tasted pretty good. Now we're watching both the sunset and the Mariners game.
