All fall down

Went down to the silos, and sure enough, they are gone. Just one big, messy pile of rubble remains.



My, how quickly things change.



We continued down to the barn, where I finally got up the nerve to take pics of the hay loft above the dairy barn.
Too bad it was raining and they didn't turn out well.


As we were leaving, I noticed something walking across the road way up in front of us.
As we got closer, I realized what it was, and got Bobby to snap a picture before it got away.

It was a turkey. Female. Wild. Wow.

Boom

A big boom shook the house. No word on what it was yet.

Went down to the farm, and the guy there said the they were imploding the silos.
The explosives he put in them weren't even enough to knock a hole in them.
There were enough in them to shake our house, a half-mile away.
And they didn't knock a hole in the silos.
God is telling you something.
He said they would try again tomorrow with double the explosives.
Someone check our foundation for cracks, please. ;-)
