My pants are so wet they stick to my legs and my fleece is slimy with mud and grease. Rain is back on schedule so silage work continues although now harder and faster. Rosie, Emmett and I are standing on the silage pit. After having already put down the tarps, it is now time to weigh everything down with tires so we wait above while Tom and Brennan load up the backhoe with slimy odl tires. We fing them out over the vast expanse of tarpo and moldy water oozes out, running down into the shed. To keep motivated we make competitions for ourselves, who is the dirtiest or who can fling the furthest.

Silage
6/2:
Around here people still talk about "the olden days" on a regular basis. It's silage time now so of course it comes up even more often these days. Rosie explains that in other times, silage was a big happening about the community where all the neighbors came together to help each other out, each contributing what they could. Nowadays it's all done through contractors who come to work the whole day (8am-11pm). They're serious about their job and almost never utter a word except a few mumbles when they come in to devour their lunch.
