From the Farm Friday : n u m b e r 5
The farm was more active this week because it was time to chop corn.
Before the corn is ready to be harvested there is a certain amount of it that will get chopped and not combined - the purpose: cattle feed {aka silage}.
Up until a few years ago the chopping was done primarily by the guys on our farm but we now hire it out. This saves so much time, what used to take multiple days now only takes hours out of one day.
The chopping machine takes the entire corn crop {green parts and all} and chops it up and spits it out, different from the combine that will just keep the kernels come harvest time. The trucks dump the corn {silage} onto a pile that happens to be in our yard. Once dumped in the yard it is packed down with tractors to help form the pile and lock in the freshness! The heifers in the yard are already so excited, they know their fresh feed is being prepared!
This huge pile {56 acres of corn / 1200 tons} will now be incorporated into the diet of our cattle when they all come home for the Winter.

Year Three as a Mrs.
Well it is no surprise Year 3 has been a tough one for us! We were very much a family of three when the year started and losing our pup was hard on us as individuals and as a couple.
The trials of year 3 show me that life is truly better when we are together!!
to my husband of three years,
we kept each other afloat this year when in march our hearts were shattered. God knew what he was doing putting us through these trials and we are stronger for it. i love the way you love me and how we grow with each passing year. i couldn't imagine anyone else by my side for this life journey and pray year four has everything we long for and more!
love your wife
I read something in Savor the other day that really resonated with me - it was about being intentional with the memories you create alone together. Sounds like a 'well duh' moment but sometimes we get so busy in life we forget to just sit with each other without an agenda or schedule.
Steve and I made sure to make time for each other over Labor Day weekend. We went on a short canoeing/camping anniversary trip and had a great time just taking in the beauty and not getting consumed with technology. It was the perfect end to three years - bring on year four!!
