Harvest moon....

I guess that's it....why they call it "harvest moon". The farmers are working their combines until late into the early morning hours, especially these warm nights with not much dew.

Good days to get the grains from the fields and into the bins. They begin in the morning as soon as the sun dries up any moisture from the night before and, barring any mechanical breakdowns, their machinery gobbles up the rows and rows of swath. Sometimes they don't even swath the grain, they just straight combine.

When the moon appears, it looks like daylight out there....and so a good name for it.

Harvest Moon.

So, I shall pray for NO rain....just sweet, warm, breezy days for all those in the harvest mode.
