Audra Zimmerman – Zimmerman Harvesting

Well, we are onto wheat harvest in Northern Oklahoma.  I survived my first wheat harvest in Texas and to be quite honest, I’m glad it’s over.  I really am not a big fan of Texas.  One word…”Rattlesnakes”!!!   Come to find out, they are in Oklahoma too, ugh!!!

A wise harvester once told me, “The best part of Oklahoma is looking at it from your rearview mirror”. I’m thinking the same holds true for Texas.  

Actually, there are more trees and green grass in Oklahoma, so I think it’s better than Munday, Texas.  Andy keeps telling me, “Texas is a BIG place”.  I guess there might be more beautiful parts to Texas, but not where you harvest wheat.  

Anyway, update on the “Combine Dog”.  She was bitten by a baby rattlesnake on Memorial Day weekend.  She is still in the animal hospital in Dallas.  She will have skin grafts later this week on her leg (no amputation…yay!!!).  This is becoming one expensive dog ($10k+).  I could buy a small car for the amount we are spending on my dog, but that’s what you do when you have no kids.  I hope she can come “home” next week.

Andy and I have friends who set up a “Go Fund Me” account for my dog. Wow, people have been so generous!!!  It was a tough first year on harvest (last year) and we are still having a hard time with the financial part of a tough year.  God always provides. even when you feel like Job in the Bible.

Well. hopefully. we can get started in our next job in Manchester, Oklahoma soon.  It rained this past weekend.  The laundry, grocery, cleaning, and book work are caught up, so it’s time to get back in my combine.
