It’s Fall.
And when you are on the farm in the Fall that means that you’ve been spending many hours both in the daylight and night time in the corn and bean fields bringing in the crops and have them stored safe in the grain bins. Now once they are in the bins you will have to turn on the fan and dry down the corn moisture to keep it from spoiling during the winter.
I normally am a summer person and like the weather to be in the 90’s – but when Daryl turns on the fan for the bin in October – well I have to say that I Love it! It makes just the best noise for when you’re sleeping. It isn’t loud at all and it’s a noise that you can just barely hear when you’re laying in bed, but it really let’s you have a good deep sleep when your head hits the pillow at night. Maybe a little part of why you fall asleep so well is because you’re so exhausted .. but I still like to hear the fan going. And what happens sometime is that the fan will shut off (it’s never supposed to just shut off) during the night and that’s never good. Trust me.
So when the wind turns chilly and the leaves have fallen off the trees and are rustling on the ground – it’s the most perfect time to put the extra blanket on the bed and listen to the hum of the fan drying the corn in the bins during the night.
