When I drive our 84 Chevy truck loaded with sacks of cow feed to the feed lot, and the cows nearly out run my husband opening the gate. It is a normal day for us. Love it.

LOVE THIS TOPIC!
when a dirty pickup and cowboy hat still turns your head 
when you find your two year old squatting like a pro in the front yard (there goes the neighborhood!)

I LOVE this thread!!
You know you're a farmgirl when...
...all your Christmas gifts come from the thrift store or, if you're really feeling fancy, Tractor Supply!
...you finally had to replace your leather gloves because you wore them out.
...you big city relatives come to the last family get together, and say to you (while looking down their nose) "So...um, are you, like becoming Amish or something?" ;)

-OK.. this is a bit racy...
BUT, you check out the "Hot" Amish guys, you know the single ones without the beards,
like most girls check out Brad Pitt or whoever..
Sorry, but a tanned 20 something Amish guy with sun streaked blonde hair.. I'm just saying....
& I am ashamed.. as I am 51.
-Also have to echo the love of TSC, just went there today, & drooled over the Ariat Fatbabies, bought 2 more muck buckets on sale, & felt satisfied as I left.
-& the thing you are most worried about someone taking from your garage (which seems to always be open) is your ample stash of canning jars.

LOL Lisa! Too funny about the Amish guys. My husband always says "Yep, my farmgirl is gonna leave me for an Amish Man. He has his own farm (which we don't yet) and he can wear a beard (my hubby can't because of his job)." LOL!!

Very real thought yesterday: Hubby and I are planning to move almost 1500 miles east to buy a farm... and I don't like to move a lot of junk so I like to fit only the things that *really* matter in the smallest Uhaul I can manage. We've discussed craigslisting our antique queen size solid wood pedestal bed, the washer, the dryer, the plasma flat screen-- but as I realized I was going to need to amend the soil to garden in the Ozarks, I wondered if and how I could bring my compost with us!!
I had the urge to leave behind a 52" flat screen television.... but BRING horse sh!t!!!!! ROFLMAO

Oh Lisa - thank you so much for the early morning laugh out loud! That's hysterical - and also understandable. I don't live around any Amish, but, hmmmm, maybe I should think about moving... And I'm older than you! Who knew Mrs. Robinson went farmgirl!?! Coo Coo Ka Choo... Too funny. Thanks again. What a great way to start the day! Love you all for making me smile and my day a little brighter.

Missouri Lea, My hubby is in school for his Paramedic and we're getting out of dodge as soon as he's finished. :) We're looking by Springfield and South of Rolla (Licking, Houston etc, wherever he is offered work first.
I'm farming in the desert as it is so I'm not too frightened.

When I have a brain-splitting headache and am out cleaning stalls instead of laying down for it to "go away".
When I "visit" my animals every hour in the barnyard to make sure they have enough water, shade, shelter, bug spray.
When I "talk" with the bees gathering pollen off my flowers.
When I'm at my friends house and we start talking about chickens antics while others who are not farmgirls roll their eyes and say "ewwww"

Phew, I was worried I was the only one who would disappear to "check on" the animals for no real reason. It's kinda like being a mom and doing a walk through the kid's bedroom while they sleep at night just to make sure they're all still breathing! LOL

For me I knew I had gone Farmgirl when....I was a girl...lol...I tried to fit in with the other girls but never did.
.....I help butcher chickens, cows and pigs as a young girl.
.....I worked in the garden instead of going to the mall.
.....I wore homemade clothes and was proud of it even when the other girls in school called me poor.
.....and so much more way back then, but NOW.
.....When I would rather look through magazines for heirloom seeds instead of clothes and shoes.
.....When paying for magazines that have to do with gardening, hunting and such...Mother Earth News use to be my favorite that was until I got my first issue of MaryJane Farm this week.
.....When my favorite things now are canning, gardening and just sitting on the front porch watching the hummingbirds or my horses.
And when people I know and my family start calling me Countrygirl all the time....I'm so proud to be a FARMGIRL and so happy to be part MJF....Penny
P.S Oh and also when my DH said that I act like a giddy little school girl when I walk my garden and get so excited when each little plant pokes its head up and again when they start producing..he said he has never seen anyone get so excited about that...I love to see the results of my labor...I feel like a new momma with each one...
