And so it ends. Just like that, with barely a whimper, harvest is over! Nothing left to do but clean up, wash down and put away the equipment. Well there is a bit more to it than that but right now all the folk here want is a sleep in and some rest. Definitely no fire works to celebrate as it would start a fire in the stubble and all hell would break loose.
We did have a fire call out during the week. One farmer who finished harvesting was driving through his property on the way to put his harvester back in the shed, happened to look back and saw smoke.
The fire was quickly contained by a passing water tanker but it could so easily have been a nasty event.
Not caused by the header as is sometimes the case, this time it was a power company transformer that had fallen off its pole causing a black out at the silo and setting fire to the paddock it landed in.
I had a lovely tea tonight and thanked the Aunt for the yummy silverside. Tea was actually chops and silverbeet which I love. Talk about dyslexic and tongue twisted! I must be tired too.
