More Wheat Threshing
The threshing process for the wheat continues, although at a slower pace. The photo above is from more than a week ago (the family kidnapped me for a vacation, so no farm activities last week). The day this picture was taken was in the midst of a giant-sized heat wave we had here in the Pacific Northwest, with about a week of temperatures in the 100's. Luckily, I had thought of the idea of setting up an awning, which was the only way that I could have been doing any of this work at all on an afternoon where the mercury hit 105 degrees. I would work for about 45 minutes, then go sit in the shade for ten minutes. Everything had to be slowed down: move carefully, deliberately, slowly.
