The last few days we've been busy with first crop soybean harvest. While many of the colors suggest fall, today the temps were hovering around 90 degrees in most parts of this area. Still, there is something special about harvesting the crops. For those who are confused about the first crop of soybeans, later we'll harvest the second crop. After the wheat was harvested last summer, some of the fields were immediately planted to soybeans. Those are referred to as second crop soybeans or beans.
In between trips out to the field to run errands, help move from one field to the next, bringing lunches, I try to make something nice for the guys to eat when they come in after a long day in the harvest field. Today I made my take on a Reese's peanut butter cupcake. Not only is there the peanut butter star on top, the same peanut buttery goodness is inside the cupcake. I haven't cheated and sampled one yet. But if they don't hurry up and come in from the field, I will cheat and forget sampling one, I'll eat the whole thing.
I hope you've enjoyed the pictures of a part of my life. Happiness is the farm and the kitchen.
