You know you are "Country" when...

When you turn your composter bin & notice bugs & worms in it & you stop & pick them out for your chickens. (Yes, I was in jammies, bathrobe, & Bogs)

Will you all be my adopted family?  My family just doesn't get it!  I'm the oddball because I make bread and soap, raise chickens for eggs and meat, and the four seasons of the year are planting, irrigating, harvest, and snowmobiling seasons!  I try to wear my hair down on "office days" if it's cool, but around here I still end up with loads of rice dust, rice hulls, and feathers in my hair (from visiting my kids).


I got a good one!  YKYACW: you have a "junk" pile that is bigger than a car but it's the envy of other country folk.  You have often traded this or that from your "junk" pile for a thingamabob from theirs that was just what you needed to replace the doo-hickey that broke.

My family doesn't get it either. I was raised in the city but even as a kid I loved the country now I live in the country. I have a pretty good flock of chickens we are getting goats in the spring and if I can talk my husband into it a small dairy cow. My parents and siblings think I'm crazy and when I mention canning or making bread they look at me like I grew another head.

...When you call shutting the coop door "Tucking in" your chickens...

 

[jaide]

I say "putting the girls to bed" even though we have Roos too

 

[ninjawesome]

OOH I got one!!

DH's windshield wipers wouldn't stay on. So we zip tied them.

I never even cut the "tails" off of the ties. We're so redneck

When you go on a vacation but it becomes more of a "Stresscation" because your constantly worrying about your animals.

...When you call shutting the coop door "Tucking in" your chickens...

Yup! Except I call it "Putting the ladies to bed".

When hoodies with kangaroo pockets are your best friends because you can fit eggs, twine, hay mower/rake/baler parts, and whatever else you find around the farm in them.

I only buy cloths that have a use, whether they have pockets, keep me warm, can handle a load of poop and dirt. No fancy heels or little black dresses around here.

And on that note, all clothes are washed in hot, there is actual dirt on our clothes, never have I washed on cold, must be a city slicker setting.
