We say goodbye to a dear friend, Howard Bulmer, who passed away. His funeral was held Oct. 2. Our thoughts and prayers are with his wife Effie and to all the Bulmer family.
Thanksgiving. The year has turned its circle, the seasons come and go. The harvest is all gathered in and chilly north winds blow. Orchards have shared their treasures, the fields, their yellow grain. So open wide the doorway, Thanksgiving comes again. (Author Unknown). Happy Thanksgiving to all family and friends.
So being a city girl I was curious to know what harvest meant and here is the definition I got from the dictionary. Harvest is the process of gathering ripe crops from the fields. Reaping is the cutting of grain or pulse for harvest, typically using a scythe, sickle, or reaper.[1] The harvest marks the end of the growing season, or the growing cycle for a particular crop, and social importance of this event makes it the focus of seasonal celebrations such as a harvest festival, found in many religions. On smaller farms with minimal mechanization harvesting is the most labor-intensive activity of the growing season. On large mechanized farms harvesting utilizes the most expensive and sophisticated farm machinery, such as the combine harvester. Harvesting in general usage may include immediate post-harvest handling, including cooling, sorting, cleaning and packing. Hope all had a safe and great harvest.
