You Know You're Being Raised As A Farm Girl When...

Your Papa carries you around by your overall straps (one of my all time favorite pictures!)...

At two and three years old

you are expert chicken feeders

and know the proper use and pronunciation of the word "broadcasting"

in reference to throwing out chicken scratch!

You are awesome at riding a tricycle down a bumpy, rocky, uneven driveway that's a quarter mile long... 

Your Mama takes you out to feed the horses

and lets you taste the horses' salt and mineral blocks

and you love it!

Playing with a feed bucket full of water and rocks while wearing bug antennae and sparkle pants is totally normal for you...

You know how to move carefully and skillfully around something that's over 1,000 pounds when you are barely 29 pounds! 

You can run and run and run and run...

and run to your heart's content before you ever reach any boundaries.

To you, most days the sunshine, open spaces and opportunities to learn and play seem limitless.

Your Mama lets you feed horses and play in the mud in lacy pink and white dresses without a care or a warning to keep clean.

When it is almost impossible for you to distinguish between work and play.

When life is good and just oh, so sweet.
