Where Did the Time Go?

I didn't realize how long it has been since I last posted!  I think that I mentioned in the last post that I was going for more x-rays.  It turned out that in addition to breaking both bones in my left wrist, I had cracked the ulna in my right arm - both arms were in essence out of commission!  With some help with evening meals from the Walter family, I managed and Don didn't miss a beat!  The first couple of weeks, thanks to pain killers, I slept.  Last week I started to visit the field with the supper delivery and towards the end of the week, Don and I figured out a way to get me up and down the ladder on the combine so that I had a couple of hours each evening riding with him.  Don has been leaving here about 7:15 in the morning and returning between 1 and 2am most days so we don't see much of each other.  During the day I've managed to keep up with e-mails, facebook, and do some genealogy data input with one-handed typing.

This harvest season has been phemomenal on two counts - one fantastic yields and two, great harvest weather.  Until the last few days, the famous Lethbridge winds have only occasionally visited and the weather most days has hovered just below 30 degrees C.  As a result harvest has proceeded quickly and may finish by mid October.  Don admits that it may take a bit of an adjustment but he will be ready for a change of pace!

We also got word that we finally have a firm sale for our house and now the scramble begins to work out the logists of the 'move' and departure for a winter in the south again.  It looks like we will be back in Almonte for much of the month of November.
