(no offense, Jeff Foxsworthy):)
I was cleaning out the van today and was thinking.....people might know I was a farmgirl at heart if they saw the bucket, bags, and shovel I carry in the back. You never know when you might need to dig something up or someone might offer to share a cutting or something. Gotta be prepared. :)
What about you? Got any telltell signs of being a farmgirl?

I thought I posted this on here when the this first came out. Must have gotten deleted or put somewhere in cyberspace.
You know you're a farm girl when you run into someone you haven't seen in a while. That person says "my you look great! Been working out?". You reply with a smug grin on your face "Why yes I have...in the garden, in the hay field, in the blueberry barrens, processing and stacking firewood in two homes."

Well, I'm going to be starting a new company in January, and it'll be named after the momma cow and calf I see every morning, waiting for me. They're SO CUTE. Tawny gray and CURLY. One day I passed several times because I had errands and the cow looks at me the last time like "Wait... you're leaving again?? Didn't you just leave 15 minutes ago??"

Hey Miranda,
They probably do . . . I believe that animals "recognize" people, vehicles, etc. Our Longhorns KNOW when it is my hubby or me coming down the lane . . . WWAAAYYY down the lane!

CJ I swear the cows down the road nod at me every morning. They see my green truck turn the corner and tell each other "Here she comes, girls, get ready to say hi!"

You know you're a farmgirl when a friend you haven't see in a while asks if you've been to the gym and that you're looking great. You get that sly smile on your face and say no, I've been out in the field haying, raking blueberries, filling the cellar with wood for the winter (you fill in the blank).

Oil and natural gas always smelled like money to us, haha! There's a LOT of natural gas in a little town called Lulling, about an hour from where I live. You drive through and every single yard has a little pump in it. Some of the larger yards have three to five. All of them are painted and personalized. One of them looks like an Orca swimming through the yard!
'Nother thought: You might be a farmgirl if thunderstorms mean baking, sewing, and trying to convince the cat you don't need her help to do either one.

Lol.. you guys are so funny :) Jen - I especially got a chuckle out of your post because although my hubby doesnt own a carhart jacket, I have laid claim to all 4 of his hooded sweat jackets (and his flip flops), and there are eggs in the incubator in my sewing room as we speak! I finally knew I really was a farmgirl when I was our last family gathering...my sister in law handed me a bag and when I asked what was in it, she said her momma saw this and said she had to get it for me...it was a beautiful white apron with blue roses on it! So happy she thought "farmgirl" when she thought of me!

Oh Lord, the more I read the posts in the various forums, the more I want chickens!! My great grandma raised chickens to get a lil extra money from the eggs. One day, my great grandpa came across the money and great grandma Julia caught him. She was a quiet woman, till that happened.
"You'd better put that back, Mr. Priss!" she declared.
I so want to get another apron finished to wear to my sister in law's family's house for Thanksgiving. I'll just use the excuse that I forgot to take it off when I was baking the pies, if anyone says anything :) Though, I have a feeling I might also drum up business that way, knowing Nettie's clan! LOL
New thought: You might be a farmgirl if, your Old Man looks at your boots, tells you that you need 'em resoled and your response is "Huh? Already?? I just got these.... um... which ones am I wearin', anyway?"

I knew I was a farmgirl when I went to the post office with a bunch of packages in arm-- the postal clerk asked if I had an ebay business. I said "nope, just shipping out some barters!"

Wearing one of my favorite aprons to a friends house.
When I get there she says "I have got to get one". I said this was handmade for me by a farmgirl friend. I made one for her and we swapped.
My friend gave me a blank look like she had no idea what I was talkin about.

Amen to that! One of our friends CONSTANTLY asks me why I'm always in the kitchen, and I kind of feel offended by that some times, like I shouldn't be taking care of things. But I just quietly tell him "Because it's what I am supposed to do!" and he just looks at me, confused.

ok......one more, then I'm done maybe
You know you might be a farmgirl if: you can count on one hand the number of times you have ever purchased a processed meal for your family (that really wasn't all that good anyway) and I';m not talking frozen pizza
--becasue it's sceond naure to make all your meals from scratch ...no matter how tired you are, 'casue that's what you learned

You go happy- crazy over the feed store's "ultra premium super fine" pine shavings and wait them out until they can get a new order becasue NOW, even though they cost a bit more, nothing else will do |

You're a farmgirl when you always find yourself outdoors wearing your hubby's Carhart jacket, there's a room in your house with baby barnyard animals in it and your desktop looks like this.

You might be a farmgirl if; you go to the coop instead of the store to get your morning eggs.
Your on a first name bases with your feedstore owner & workers
You get horse poo for a gift from your hubby for Mothers Day & can't wait to gt it in the garden
you spit clean a fresh veggie out of he garden & eat it while there
Feel like you hit the jackpot getting gift certificates for framing/gardening things
Wear dirt as make-up & animal odors as perfume
