Dairymom's Thankful Thursday

Even though it was almost dusk when the custom silage chopper
 pulled into the first corn field this week, it was decided to open the
 field and get the process started. 

As I waited for the chopping to begin, it suddenly seemed like fall.
As darkness covered the field, the air became chilly. 
I was wishing for jeans and a long sleeved shirt instead of my shorts.
Even a big pot of chili sounded good.
Can it really be fall in August?


We didn't haul too many loads to the silo  that first evening but 
 I am so thankful for the corn crop that will be used to 
feed our dairy cows through this fall and winter.

Ready or not---I think fall is sneaking up on us!
