You know you are a farmer when ….

….you see your cow has escaped again so you and your ten year old rig up a fence wall that rivals Alcatraz.

…cow cannot escape Alcatraz but pony breaks INto same (why??)

…free the pony

… go back in the house and make chicken soup because everyone is sick

…realize that now YOU are getting sick

…go to milk the goats, feed chickens, and notice aforementioned cow has escaped from Alcatraz

…fever now approaching 101

…send cow to the barn for the night/day/til dh comes home/someone makes an offer on cow (you don’t care which at this pt)

…carve pumpkins, make hot chocolate, get everyone in jammies, congratulate yourself that the herbal remedies have the children in good shape

…sink into the hottest tub you can fill, making little groaning/complaining sounds and wondering if death is soon to follow

…open eyes for a spit second and see little green flecks floating in the water?   Maybe you really ARE dying?  No, wait.  It’s teensy bits of hay. ; )

Guess I am a hayseed now.
Honey-man, I hope you find that as attractive as I find your Carhartt jacket lol!   Make that flight a snappy one or they will have erected a headstone in my honor……

Lots of interesting things happening in our world, and not all of them viral : )   Give me a day to recover and we will fill you in.

  1. So when I laughed reading this, I want you to know that I laughed sympathetically. Because I so relate. Luckily, when the sheep get out, DH is the one to go dashing into the yard with BIL to get them! πŸ™‚ (Though I fear my day is coming…)
