Can You Guess

I promised another guessing game:

These pictures were taken last week.

1. What is the name of the machine?

2. What is the crop being harvested?

This is an easy one for my Nielson family. I wonder if I can stump my non-farmer family and friends...

Good luck! Guess as many times as you want

Jillian said...: Okay (thanks to Jilly for letting me quiz her when I was there) I say it is Wheat and a Combine (SP?); August 4, 2008 at 4:25 PM
M&M_Mama said...: Okay--We may be off but we think it is a John Deere 9600 or 9650 Maximizer Combine. And we think it is Stephen's Winter Wheat by the size of the kernels in picture two. And for extra credit we think based on the surrounding topographical landscape it is in township 5, section 32, range 16. I sure hope we are right!!!! Hee hee.

The better question is how many people have actually rode in one or even driven one! You could have said yes to both couldn't you even before you got married? I know you have been on a potato harvester!; August 4, 2008 at 9:15 PM

View From the Hill

How do we reduce the pressure and enjoy our families more? "...recognize that the joy of motherhood comes in moments. There will be hard times and frustrating times. But amid the challenges, there are shining moments of joy and satisfaction. Author Anna Quindlen reminds us not to rush past the fleeting moments. She said "The biggest mistake I made {as a parent} is the one that most of us make...I did not live in the moment enough. This is particularly clear now that the moment is gone, captured only in photographs. There is one picture of {my three children} sitting in the grass on a quilt in the shadow of the swing set on a summer day, ages six, four, and one. And I wish I could remember what we ate, and what we talked about, and how they sounded, and how they looked when they slept that night. I wish I had not been in such a hurry to get on to the next thing: dinner, bath, book, bed. I wish I had treasured the doing a little more and the getting it done a little less" (from "Daughters of God", Ballard April 2008; click on image for complete article)
