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!!

| If you like the smell of fresh plowed dirt, Y-M-B-A-F. If you like the sound of cows munching hay, If you buy your cloths at the farm store, If your garden is cleaner (no clutter) than your house, If you took those cinnamon rolls to the fair and got Grand Champion, you are for sure a Farmgirl. OK, I didn't get grand on my cinnamon rolls, but my daughter did. |

If you need planters for your garden and you use up old chicken waterers you must be a farm girl. If you wear a lacy blouse with your overalls, you must be a farmgirl.
If shopping for power tools turns you on as much as shopping for fabric, you must be a farm girl. If they won't let you in the door without a loaf of home made bread at family gatherings or a friend tells you "please, don't ever buy a bread machine" you must be a farmgirl. If your grandkids turn their noses up at store bought applesauce saying "this doesn't taste like grandma's - it tastes funny..." you must be a farmgirl. If you have your three week old baby in the stroller, and you are pushing it back and forth with your foot while you core pears at the sink with a melon baller to can, then you are definetely a farmgirl.
Blessings, Sheri

This is the greatest thread EVER.
If you think someone should bottle the smell of horses and well used leather, you must be a farmgirl.
If the sound of thundering horse hooves during evening turnout is music to your ears, you must be a farmgirl.
If you consider the fact that you can pick 34 lbs of strawberries in under an hour to be a record and a point of pride, you must be a farmgirl.
If you spent 4 hours on-line looking for copies of iron-on embroidery patterns that look JUST LIKE THE ONES ON GRANDMA's tea towels, you must be a farmgirl.
If you clapped your hands and jumped up and down for joy when someone gave you 200 canning jars for FREE, you must be a farmgirl.
If you are the only person in your office who goes home and makes dinner from scratch every evening for your husband, you must be a farmgirl.
If one of the greatest pleasures of your day is digging potatoes out of your garden for supper, you must be a farmgirl.
I'm sure I could think of a 100 more, but I like reading everyone else's even better.

If you find yourself excited by looking at Pressure Canners...you must be a Farmgirl.
If you long to smell the air outside every morning...you must be a Farmgirl.
If homemade bread and soup is your favorite meal...you must be a Farmgirl.
If you're barely recognizable without an apron..you must be a Farmgirl.
This is such a fun thread!

If you plan your garden around what can be canned, you are a Farmgirl.
If you remember 10 recipes by heart for pies, you are a farmgirl.
If you tend to your animals first thing on morning you are a farmgirl.
If you are kind to the Earth and a good neighbour, you are a farmgirl.
Teresa Sue, you have so many neat ideas.

If you have an outdoor washer, and a pantry shed, YMBAFG. If jumping on the tractor rocks your world, YMBAFG. If you eyeball the aprons at the mexican market YMBAFG.

If when visitors come over and you hand them a bowl and a box of green beans and you snap beans the whole time you are visiting, then you must be a farmgirl. If you search the internet looking for canning jar lids in bulk, you must be a farmgirl. If your answering machine says "I'm knitting lace, leave a message, I'll call you at the end of the row" you must be a farmgirl. If your first thought is "how can I make...." instead of "how can I buy..." you must be a farmgirl.
Blessings, Sheri

You must be a farmgirl if....
You wear muckboots 'n aprons most days *U*
You have to pick hay out of your hair before you go to town.
"Shopping therapy" for you and your girlfriends means hitting the local ranch supply and maybe a thrift store or two.
You have to check your apron pockets for eggs periodically throughout your busy day.
People come to visit and they are swarmed by dogs, kids, and goats the minute they get out of their car.
You love washing dishes while looking out your big kitchen window...and the horses are looking in watching you wash dishes!
You don't set an alarm clock to wake you in the morning, you count on your own rooster to sound off, and you know if he doesn't, a neighbor's rooster will.
You sip your coffee while on the back of a horse.
As a matter of fact, you do alot of things on the back of a horse.

You must be a farmgirl if:
Your daughters give you a gift card for Mother's Day from Lee Valley...and you're thrilled. :)
Your clothes closet is divided between "can" and "can't" be seen in public.
Your response to "you can't do that" is "watch me"!
Your idea of surprising your DH is having the framing of a greenhouse done before he gets home.
Your computer sits on a desk beside a window with a pair of binoculars and quilt squares you're working on.
Your idea of a great day shopping is an estate sale and thrift store.
Yep, you're right...this is a great subject that could go on and on!!

Diane, this has got to be my favorite so far. I've almost gotten to the point where I WANT people to say that, just so I can prove them wrong.

You must be a farmgirl if:
You proudly wear boot (red) with a pair of shorts to mow the lawn.
Diane, I LOVE "you can't do that" - "watch me"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You must be a farmgirl if..... you are in the hammock, in your pasture with a grandkid on one side and a goat kid on the other
You can shuck corn and nurse a baby at the same time

Any one at MJF writing these down? They will go great with our Farmgirl Reality show.
I don't get challanged much anymore. When someone tries, I can usually say, Been there, done that, got the picture, fair ribbon, chicken house or scars to prove it. |

Here's one, you know you're a FARMGIRL when you don't think anything about it when you pick a mouse up by the tail and toss it outside.

You know you're a farm girls when: You are unfazed by a mare placenta
When you look forward to a barn full of sweet alfalfa
When you know how to "catch" round bales as they are bounced from a truck
When you have a pet rooster
when you call your sweetie from the field to ask for more fence wire
whenn you can feed a bummer lamb and chat on your cell at the same time
