thanksgiving dinner

Thanksgiving celebrations took place in the field. It was cold out and the turnips tipped over on the ride over but I think everyone enjoyed the turkey, potatoes, squash, turnips (most survived), garlic bread, broccoli salad and the best part - pumpkin dessert! Was a bit late for taking pictures, but you get the idea! One of the hired men told me he can't believe he gets paid to do this job!! I think that is the sign of a satisfied employee. Wonder if he would really work for free?!! Oh, I understand that the combines are covering the ground at a good pace and we are over half done. Projections - done in 2 weeks or less if the weather holds. Lots to be thankful for! Happy belated thanksgiving to all.

I think we are about 1/3 done now ... seems like we are just getting started! Thankfully the weather is cooperating. Samara didn't join us for this trip. She was invited by a friend to go to the Smokey Lake Pumpkin Festival. Guess it was a blast - they dropped the prize winning 970lb pumpkin on a car! They also had a farmers market and Samara came back with some jam for mom, a scarecrow magnet for dad and a painted pysanka for Auntie Carla! Was very sweet. Oh, I went to Winners again but this trip burst my Winners bubble. The radio station was there and it was so crowded and not much stock had changed since last week. I should be thankful for the cure!
