A load has been lifted

Woo-hoo! The corn silage is done!

The guys finished chopping corn silage just as I was starting evening chores, which meant they finished several hours ahead of schedule.

Later, when we were in the barn together, Glen was acting so squirrelly that I asked him if maybe he'd had a bit too much caffeine over the course of the day.

"No," he said, "I just feel like a load has been lifted off my shoulders. A 945-ton load." (That's how much corn silage we put up in the last two weeks.)

I think tomorrow will be nap day.

In the photo above, the tractor and chopper are about to drive over the grassed waterway that runs through the field. (Glen wanted me to make it clear that all of that grass is supposed to be there.)
