Okay, this thread's for RENE'!  She mentioned on another post that we should have something like Jeff Foxworthy's, YOU MUST BE A REDNECK, only it should be YOU MUST BE A FARM.GIRL So, I'll start and I want all of you to jump right in!!
If you covet those knee high rubber boots at Big R (or Tractor Supply), you must be a FARMGIRL.If you love the peaceful sounds of your animals settling in for the night in the barn, you must be a FARMGIRL.If you get excited to go to Home Depot, you must be a FARMGIRL.If you think about your home grown beef in freezer like most people think about vintage wine, you must be a FARMGIRL.
If you stand in your garden and eat your very fresh dinner, right there on the spot, you must be a FARMGIRL.If you think hanging your laundry out on the line is a privilege, you must be a FARMGIRL.If you think nothing of canning 110 quarts of peaches, turning around the next day and doing the same with pears, you must be a FARMGIRL.
If you consider watching the chickens and pigs while you eat, Dinner Theatre, you must be a FARMGIRL.
If your grandson tells you, "Gramma, if you took your cinnamon rolls to the fair, you'd get a blue ribbon.", you must be a FARMGIRL.
If you just roll up your sleeves, tie on an apron, and just tackle that job to be done, you must be a FARMGIRL.Okay, I could sit here all day and think these up, but I have to go to work, so help me out here! LOL!!

Hey Ladies Im Back
You Know Your a Farmgirl when:
You collect the flies that died on the carpet in the house and carry it out to your favorite hens..
You come home from town and realize that you forgot to take the hay bale twine out of your hair (great for making ponytails) and switch to something a bit less country. Heck my hair was clean - what more could I ask for??
You are willing to turn on the heat lamps for the hens but will not turn on the heat in the house for company - again I ask do those city folks lay me an egg every day??
You think nothing of using your bra to act as a halter when you find your neighbor's horse running down your driveway again and you don't have time to get to your truck.
When you go into town for a girl's day out and find that when you reach the resturant and take off your jacket that there are two eggs in the pocket - Maybe that is more of a senior moment??
You spend a day putting up Autumn decorations on your front deck (Looked really festive) and in the morning your orphan doe has decided it was her evening snack. What made it even more wonderful is she brought her new boyfriend (a four point buck with sweet eyes)
and they are where just finishing the Indian Corn has I finished my coffee..
When your new winter PJ's are Long Johns that have flowers on them - I am styling now!
When all the Christmas gifts are done because you do not want to be interrupted during Kidding Season..

You must be a farmgirl if...
You can split and haul wood without ruining your nails.
You can drive a tractor.
You got three chickens as a wedding present and were so excited you squealed.
Starbucks and sushi to green fried tomatoes and corn pudding-I wouldn't change it for the world.

What?!?!? That's not dressed up???? LOL!
I think you might be a farmgirl if you stay up until 11:30 working on an apron for a swap or reading threads on MaryJane's when you have to get up at 5:30 and go to your real job . . .
I love this place :-)

YMBAFGI you can't find the fecal sample bags for your horses and reach into the pocket of you fluffy pink bath robe and there they are.
YMBAFGI you use hay string to make the hair for the witch decoration you make for your front yard at Halloween
YMBAFGI you know how to use a horse halter as a dog harness.

If you go out to eat and wonder why there is no chicken fried steak on the menu... LOL
You wardrobe consists of plaid button down shirts and jeans and you have "good" sets for church...
You get excited when the county fair comes to town because you love the smell of animal poo and hay... LOL
You quietly snicker at those who wake up at 9 in the morning and complain they are up early when you have been up for 4 hours already...
You wear a "Farmgirls Rule" T-shirt underneath your business suit for work..yes I have done this...
You find peacefulness in the eyes of the local farmer who sells his produce at a roadside stand...
You get excited when Tractor Supply has a sale on clothing... : )
You go to the city and can't figure out why everyone is in such a hurry...

If you have done your laundry on the back porch with a ringer washer, you might be a farmgirl!

Hi Ruth, nice to meet ya. Hope to hear more from you!
I don't use my dryer most of the time. When my clothes got rained on (unusual rainfall this summer), then sometimes I gave it another day to dry again....and sometimes I brought them in to wash again.
I even took the time to iron many clothes to keep from using the dryer. It took more time and work but I started to enjoy it and knowing I was keeping my house cooler and saving lots of "energy". Especially the electric to cool the house back down in the summer! The exercise helped me anyway. LOL
I must be a farmgirl!

You are a farmgirl if you lived on a farm as a child but now you can't. Farmgirl is always in your heart, your blood and your caring for others, animals, families and each other.
Thank you Mary Jane for bringing us together again.

Your grown son asks what you for for Christmas, and you say 3" long bolt cutters -
Your incubator sits on the spare bathroom counter, so you can keep an eye on the progress -
You keep ducklings and goslings in spare bathroom tub for the first week, to be sure they are getting a good start -
You goat doe has twins and you send all of your friends an email of you and hubby holding the boys, while you both still have gunk on you from taking care of all three -
Your drive 4 hours to attend and come home from your grandson's high school graduation, hubby stays home and you call every hour to see if that second doe has delivered yet -
You are up at 5am, milk 2 does, feed the dog, spend 10 minutes with her, make sure the house cats have food and water, fix and have breakfast, take something out of the freezer for supper, get ready for work, be there by 6:30 and wouldn't change the morning routine for any thing-
When you free your mind your heart can fly. |

We used to make jokes when I was in high school (the 60s) about putting kleenex in your bra for padding and then he only found out on your wedding night. (that's the generation when girls stayed virgins..lol)
ummm what does that have to do with being a farmgirl? Maybe it's just about growing up in the 60s. LOL

this one was my mother:
...if you wake up to your herd making all together too much noise, run outside in your slippers and nighty, and walk the stray horse you find out there around the block and into your yard while the neighborhood dogs wake up all the neighbors who glare at you wondering why you are taking your horse for a walk. and then, around 3am, wake up your ten year old little girl to tell you you got her a present.
you might be a farmgirl if you missed your first day of your senior year because your horse died
you might be a farmgirl if you have a duck that thinks your his mother and follows you EVERYWHERE
you might be a farmgirl if you remember the day hauling hay bales got a lot easier because you finally weighed more than the 110 pounds that they weighed.
you might be a farmgirl if you have to use more than all your fingers to count out the many uses of hay bailing twine
you might be a farmgirl if your yard has a fondly remembered spot dedicated to 'pet cemetary' and you've never once been afraid of it
you might be a farmgirl if you've ever fished a floating rat out of a water tub
you might be a farmgirl if you'd rather sit outside and watch your animals and all their peyton place type drama than sit inside and watch tv
you might be a farmgirl if you are starting to completely run out of names for your animals
you might be a farmgirl if you step in something wet, hop on one foot over to the kitchen sink, put your foot in there and wash it off, only to remember that you dropped an ice cube on the floor a bit ago and no, this time, no one had an accident on your floor.
you might be a farmgirl if you get a hankering for new clothes, make yourself a shirt in the few hours the kids are taking their naps, and your DH comes home and gets all excited about how good your new shirt looks with that apron
you might be a farmgirl if your feet have never been able to fit nicely in womens shoes because you've spent so much of your life barefoot
you might be a farmgirl if you compare smells in the city to "horny goat" and "septic tank"
you might be a farmgirl if you can mimic the sounds of goats, cats, chickens, and donkeys and they will answer you and that this makes you so proud that you'll demonstrate at parties
ok. i gotta stop. seriously. so much fun!

YMBAFI your shorts have horse treat crumbs in the pockets.
YMBAFI the technical support guy you can to help with your computer asks "Is that a horses eye on your desktop"
YMBAFI your kitchen curtains are actually half aprons with curtain rods through the waistband.
