Miscanthus Giganteus Field Trip

This week and last it has been harvest time for Blake!

He has been growing Miscanthus grass for his job at Mathy for many years now.

You can see previous posts about it here and here.

Last Wednesday we all took the opportunity for a field trip since Blake was harvesting just 20 miles away from Twin Oaks!

Our two sensory girls (Ellie and Eliza) handled it very well, especially with the noise of the tractors.

Having Eliza wear her sun glasses helped her a lot!

I am just so glad the Lord gave us the sky!!

It took us about three days to get the dust off of everything and everyone after standing there watching harvest!

That reminds me – my van still needs washed!

It was a wonderful field trip though – memories made and memories kept!!

The best part was seeing how much Blake enjoys his job.

I am so thankful that he enjoys it!

This field trip brought back memories of the farm, and made it really FEEL LIKE SPRING!

Happy spring, everyone!!
