The squash just keep marching in

What a year for squash!  Each day we gather in more and bring them to the house.  After running through the steamer and scraping out the bright orange flesh, we cool it down and put in freezer bags.  Couldn't resist making a pumpkin pie from the squash last night.  Very good - Yummy!  Also works great for sweet potato pie.  Frost is on its way for the weekend, so that may put an end to most of the garden.  There's still plenty of tomatoes and banana peppers out there that need to be gathered.  Always so much to do!  Farmer Rick is almost finished filling silo.  I chopped while he ran the blower, putting the silage from the wagons into the silo.  Running the tractor with the chopper with it isn't too bad now that we have a cab tractor.  Much of the noise is difused from the sound gard cab on the tractor.  Plus, when it's windy and cold, I can turn the heat on!  After years of doing all of our tractor work out in the cold, heat, wind or sun, we really appreciate having a tractor that keeps us out of the worst of the elements.
