A good apron is a must. Sometimes I put my extra flouncy one on overtop of my pajamas just so I can fill the pockets with farm doodads like snippets of herbs, eggs, or a handful of nails. The heavy duty butcher-style ones are good, too.

Writing of tank tops, I don't know why but when we are out working on the land (it's undeveloped and we're clearing it) I get mad mosquito bites. I mean it is weird. Hubby doesn't get bit. His children don't. ?????? That's what made me start borrowing this one long-sleeved shirt of his. I love wearing "wife beaters", but looks like I can't out there.

Ya knowww, I'd never have thought of that. I haven't worn an apron since elementary school and that's only 'cause when I was first taught to sew, an apron was one of the first items that I learned. Wow.
What exactly is "mucking"? Obviously has something to do with wet gardens (umm, right); just double checking especially after reading about DW and her "muck" boots, ha ha ha!

Awwww, sounds so cute, gryeyes! Looks like my new find, treadle sewing machine, is going to get a good workout. Check her out yaw'll, http://hiphillbillyfarm.com/treadle-sewing/. I am ecstatic at this find!
Mucking: The act of scooping any and all various forms of feces, urine, and soiled bedding.
Sexy farmwear...uh....I am probably not the best person to ask. The other night I had to run out to do something quick with one of the horses, it was rather chilly at around 30º, I had on short shorts, cowboy boots, a flannel shirt-jacket and gloves. DH thought I was pretty hilarious. I am not a fancy dresser by any means, but I usually run out to do this or that in whatever I have on, and I've been known to toss hay and fill water tanks in stilletos right before leaving for a wedding or some such.
Hey, I need to stop the madness 'cause I'll have to grow up fast with this farm life and get used to all kindza body fluids apparently. And, we're talking of having a humanure compost system too. Pulleaze, Lyric, get it together girl.

I gave those things up yearzzz ago. Okay, well I did get a pair off eBay, Jessica Simpson's, 'cause they have toe cleavage. Heeeeey, I can't resist toe cleavage.
