My peaceful early mornings during harvest of the wheat end on the blacktop at the end of the driveway You can hear them headed south to the stop sign at the corner next door They follow the road around to the right You can see them peeking between the trees as they come to the tracks They hit 'em hard and keep on rolling crossing the bridge then curving south Diesels gear up on the the straight away with a roar. Full of wheat they are headed to elevators to dump their load All day long back and forth empty and full they rumble and growl down my road As the shadows lengthen and even on into the dark they run as long as the combines in the fields will fill them When the dew sets in the wheat draws moisture everything shuts down All becomes quiet again Solitude is mine until the the next day when the sun rises and burns the dew away LGR(C)7/3/13 |

And the breadbasket of America is living up to its name. We have something similar here in south Louisiana, but the diesels here are carrying raw sugarcane back and forth, back and forth. ~*~ If they give you lined paper, write sideways. ~*~ |

I heard the other day that Kansas is back to number one in wheat production, we were down to number 4. I think most of the state has had a good harvest. Next will come the burning of the stuble fields. Thanks for commenting Lori  |

Must be quite the spectacle in these busy times! All that golden load that is so important for us. Thank you for showing us so vividly what's going on down in Kansas, dear Lori. Margherita |
