This year was almost an unhappy harvest. Actually I think the harvest is still happening. I have very crude farm knowledge, but I know it's a very late year. It started late because of the spring rain and now it's ending late because of the fall rain. In years past I remember Patrick's dad being finished by October, at least the gathering of crops part. As of yesterday he still has some harvesting to do. I hope it turns out to be a very happy harvest for him.
David (Patrick's dad), also known as Grandpa Tractor around here, invited the boys out to help with the harvest just a few weeks ago. It was a sunny and warm, simply beautiful fall day. Henry rode with him from around 1:00 p.m. until it was dark and he brought the combine home around 6:00 p.m. William didn't last as long; he rode for close to 2 1/2 hours, and part of that time he was snoozing. He fell asleep riding along on Grandpa Tractor's lap. I should note that I was also in the {itty-bitty cab} for the 2 1/2 hours that William lasted.
First a little farm education,

This was very educational! I love the picture of William sleeping on Grandpa Tractor....really all of these are priceless. It's so amazing they get to do that with him; what memories they will have!
By the way, William looks like such a little man in some of those toward the end - adorable!
Love you guys,
Sara

These pictures of the boys are amazing! Next time we see each other, I want you to take pictures of Ben for me. I also need to print off some pictures of William and Henry to frame.
