Have you ever seen inside an empty silo? The picture above is from inside the silo looking up at the silo unloader. I was called to come and hold a rope while the unloader slowly came down to the bottom of the silo. Nathan hands me the rope and says, "Keep tension on this rope." That's it. And off he goes. Why am I holding a rope that seems to be attached to this big thing that's coming down.... down... closer to me? Hmmm.
He finally comes back and tells me the rope is to keep the unloader from swinging around as it came down.
The rye silo is empty and they are getting ready to fill 'er up! My farmer has been mowing the rye fields for a couple of days now and will soon have this empty silo filled full of chopped rye.
The acoustics in an empty silo is wonderful! I was singing, whistling, and hollering in that silo and listening to my voice echo all over the place.
We're thanking the Lord for the good weather that we've had lately to get this spring farm work done and being able to fill up the empty silos.

You should have posted the singing. That would have been very entertaining.LOL
This picture is beautiful. The colors outside my window are just a bit different than the rich vibrant greens here. :)
