Harvest time

This morning I saw a wagone go past the house loaded with bags of onions and a few guys on top of the load. Garry tells me it looks like a bunch of kids are skipping school to pick onions in the vegetable growers' field. He figures they get paid by the bag, and only work until the crop is in.

What's that? Onions!

I took this photo when we were coming back from Crimea last month, there was a field full of orange mesh bags of onions- we assume left out to dry- amazing sight as you drive past on the highway!

Looks like the pumpkin (seed) farmers are starting to push the pumpkins into rows for the harvesting machine- check last  year's blog for more details on pumpkin seed farmers.

Maxim taught Yana to drive the tractor to bale up the hay the other day, I don't know how many bales they made, but Garry says it is really green (in color) Andrei was just back from trade school and was feeding the cows. Look for  blog post soon about Maxim's house reno, it is coming along, Garry has been helping lay tile floors and make cement for the huge cistern the guys dug to hold water for the house.
