Last of the Harvest

I know how late this is but better late than never right?
Cotton was the last crop to harvest and now that it is out of the field harvest is over but farming is not. It slows down drastically but over it is not! Now they will be disking the stalks and getting all of the fields ready to plant for Spring. this year was one of the prettiest cotton years we have had in a while. Here are pictures of this years cotton harvest.

This is called a 5 lock bowl of cotton, there are four locks also.

The kids playing on top of the cotton module while Daddy tags it so when it goes to the cotton gin they will know who it belongs to.

Three years ago we came across a bald eagle pair that made its huge nest in our break and have been living their ever since. We enjoy them building their nest in a new tree each year and watching their babies fly out and venture off. I need to get some close up pictures of the nest so you can see how huge it is.

Here is one on the look out.
