Wheat Harvest

I've always thought the wheat fields are beautiful, especially to see them waving in the wind like a wave across the water.  Maybe it's because I've grown up in wheat country, but it's beautiful to look out at the horizon and see golden fields for as far as the eye can see.

Harvest started early here this year, May 18th.  In fact, it is the earliest they've ever started as far as anyone can remember.  I guess it's because we had such a warm winter and lots of rain (not sure if that's what the farmers would say, but that's my best non-farmer guess!)

The girls look forward to a combine ride every year with Cassie, so hopefully we'll be able to do that sometime this week!  We went for a ride in the country a few days ago and here are a few pictures I took.

 I just love the oil well out in the middle of the wheat field.  We live in oil country and wheat country, so this picture captures what we see a lot of around here!
