The final day of butternut squash harvest.

It was amazing to watch them continue to fill trailers. By my calculations they harvested a total of eight or nine trailers.

They finished the harvest by 2:30 in the afternoon.

By early evening Jacob had already begun planting a winter grass – probably rye.

He was still planting when I went to bed and by morning it appeared that his job was finished.

The only sign that it had been a field of butternut squash just a few days earlier were a few squashed squash.
