there she blows

we had a storm come through last night - big black nasty looking clouds, the wind kicked up for awhile & we enough rain that we didn't have to water plants.  Justin's dad called to let us know one of the grain bins blew down (we farm about 25 minutes south-east of where we live).  Luckily, the bin was empty.  For those of you non-farmers - the grain bin is where we store the corn/soybeans after harvest until we haul it to the elevator.  Here's a few pics his mom took...

the bin used to sit on this concrete "pad"

Your land is so flat! I always hated that part of living in Illinois. We dreaded the tornado watch sign on the TV screen every summer afternoon.

Cute pics of fishing. I loved going fishing with my daddy. Such fun memories.
