Winter Has Arrived–and the Corn is Still Waiting for Harvest

We left Saturday to go to Greeley, Colorado to visit Terry’s sister, her husband, and his Mother.

Terry’s Mom is in a nursing home recovering from a broken hip, femur and wrist.

We drove in this

Both directions

And all the way home.

Today looks just the same as Saturday and Sunday.  You can see the corn standing in the fields.  Harvest has stopped, although it’s been so wet it really hasn’t started yet. 

The weatherman says it will be in here until Wednesday and then cold weather will settle in.  Cold weather isn’t too bad if it is clear…combines can get down fields if the dirt mud is frozen.  Also cold weather isn’t bad if the corn moisture drops.  Before this storm hit we were at 15% and wanted to start combining today.  I guess that didn’t happen 😦

Oh, well…. we got to see Terry’s Mom and that is a good thing.
