Your name is taped to the side of a cake pan.
You call the omplementdealer and he recognizes your voice.
The vet's number is on the speed dial of your phone.
You know how to change a flat but can't because the spare is being used on a flatbed.
Your second vehicle is still a pick-up.
If your husband has ever used field equipment to maintain your yard.
You are in the habit of buying foodstuffs in bulk.
A night out involves the local 4-H club.
The word "auction" makes you tingle.
If you ever have washed your kids or the dishes with a pressure washer.
If "picking-rock" is a chance to get out of the house.
If "wild game" has more to do with dinner than the bed-room.
If "a little lunch" means six courses and a desert made from scratch.
If the "fresh ingredients" youir receipe calls for means a trip to the garden.
Taking lunch to the field is as close as you get to having a picnic.
That pail with a hole in it is a flower pot in the making.
If your rock garden was hand picked.
If you can mend a pair of pants AND the fence that tore them.
If the shopping list in your purse includes the sizes of filters, tires, chains, belts, lights, cables, spark plugs, or shot gun shells.
If you ever went on a date to a rodeo.
Your tan lines are somewhere between your shoulder and your elbow.
You are gratefull for nail polish because it hides the dirt under your nails.
If you ever have called your husband to supper using a radio.
You buy antiques because they match the rest of your furniture.
If being taken out to dinner has ever included a talk by a farm & seed dealer.
Your mail box looks like a piece of farm equipment.
If your kid's wading pool has ever doubled as a stock tank or vice versa.
You have a yard but not a lawn.
You have alot of machinery...each piece worth more than your house.
The leaky barn roof gets fixed before the leak in your kitchen.
Duct tape is always on the shopping list.
You can best see your neighbor's place through binoculars.
The tractor and combine have air-conditioning but your car doesn't.
:roll: The words, "Lacey" and "Frilly" refers to farm animals but not your night gown.
Alot more but this is getting chatty...will share later.
