You might be a farmgirl if you are standing at a fence corner joined by two gates, your hubby yells at you to open the gate and you know which one he means!!

| You might be a farmgirl if your idea of going to group therapy is sitting in the barn talking with the chickens and barn cats, and it helps. |

| You might be a farmgirl if driving down the road,you pass a pig farm and get a whiff of the aroma then think "smells like money." |

You might be a farmgirl if: You don't have your own farm (yet) so you go talk to the neighbor's cows instead.

Its threads like this that make me wish MJF had a "Like" button. These are great.
You know you're a farmgirl when you have more flannel shirts than any other kind.

Tea Lady I thought the same thing about the like button! Especially the flannel nightgown being turned into curlers! I giggled out loud, sitting all alone in my office.

I think I might be a farmgirl (even though it has been 35 years since I have lived on a farm) because I am so excited to know that there are other women out there who have asked for, and have received, dirt for a present! My loving hubby gave me dirt for our anniversay one year! I LOVED IT!

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

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 like the smell of natural bailing twine (not the colored plastic stuff)

| 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 |

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

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.

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.

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!"

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?"

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!

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.

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).

You know when you are a farmgirl when you take a picture of something in a store to make it for a merit badge.
