Harvest

In traveling to and fro the last couple of days, my husband and I have been privileged to see the beginning of the wheat harvest in central Kansas. It is a sight that gives me a sense of excitement each and every year.
When I was little, my dad would take me out at the beginning of the harvest to show me the combines going in to the fields for the first time. He would be excited and that was passed to me.
Now, have I ever driven a combine or somehow taken an active part in harvest? Nope!
But who in the area is not moved somewhat by the sight of combines in the field?
So, the last couple of days have been an absolute delight. I am seeing the combines and feeling the excitement for my dad. He is probably smiling and pointing out the big machines to whoever might be beside him at the time and they too, are feeling the excitement.
