Rain and red dirt roads

It has been rainy here the last 3 days, 3+ inches of rain here, but other areas have had much more and we are glad we didn't get anymore. We've all caught up on some sleep and are ready to get going again. Today the sun is shining and the guys are fixing on a few things on the machines, I caught up on all the laundry, cleaned the camper, and caught up this blog!! there was a lot to catch up on, so much has happened I can't believe it has all taken place in only 2 weeks.

The day after we got here it started pouring, so combining any wheat on Saturday was out of the picture. It was Andy's birthday though so we had a little party. I made a big supper of pork roast(from home - yum!) mashed potatoes, gravy, corn, and I even made Andy a birthday cake!
It was oh-so-good with homemade frosting :)
We had time to hang out and play cards since it was rainy.

We have run into some people here that we met at the convention back in Feb. It was nice to talk with them for a bit. Our neighbors here at this very small RV park are harvesters also, they are super friendly and we have had time to visit with them since everyone is in the same boat due to the rain.

Yesterday we drove around looking at fields, and all the water, there are combines in standing water. I have to download those pictures yet. It may be a few days for some harvesters yet, but we are on some slightly higher ground and may get out there tomorrow. We drove through Wakita, KS yesterday, where parts of Twister take place, now I want to re-watch the movie. They don't have gravel roads here, they really are red dirt roads. And when it rains a lot they get greasy and wash out in low spots. Don't drive off the road even a little bit, you'll sink right in, not from experience or anything.... ;)
