The Top Ten Reasons I Know I'm a Country Girl...........

I've always been a country girl and a farmer at heart, even though I've always lived in a small town or city. About ten years ago, we moved to the country, and I've never been happier about where I live.  I work in town, and my work day is never shorter than 10 hours...many more if there is an evening activity.  But, the drive back home helps me unwind. I'd rather be at my home, on my land than anywhere else.  Although I am a country girl, I noticed as I was writing this that the "girl" part is still pretty important to me!  Here are ten reasons I know I'm  a country girl.....

Number 10.....
I have a subcription to this magazine:


Number 9.....
I'm picky about my watering cans...they have to be metal and stylish....



Number 8.....
My potting shed is one of my favorite places to be....








Number 7.....
Not only do we own this......




But I have a tractor charm on my James Avery bracelet!


Number 6.....
One day when I came home from work..two wild ducks were on my pool deck trying to decide if it was a pond......(sorry for the poor quality picture)


Number 5.....

Number 4.....
I have gloves for carrying rocks and limbs, and gloves for gardening (all pink, of course!)



Number 3.....
I don't like lights outside at night...unless they are the moon and stars.



Number 2.....
The cicadas announce summer at my house....

Couldn't attach the wav file....but it sounds great!!



Number 1.....
One of my favorite places to shop is the Farmer's Market




If you're a country girl, what are your top ten?

  3. Just found you today, the name of your blog drew me in, yep curly too! I don't have 10 reasons, but I know I'm an urban farm girl because the name of my blog would be either what it is or Hillbilly in Philly! Happy Mother's Day!

  4. Hi Kimberly...

    My friend, what a great post to share with us for Sunday Favorites...I loved it!!! Well I certainly can relate...being just a country girl myself! You know, I have lived in the city but I am soooo very happy to be living out in the country...I wouldn't trade it for a million bucks!!! I know that it's not for everyone but I guess that's a good thing...otherwise the country would be just like the city! Hehe!

    Love your potting shed!!! Ohh yes, and great photo of your and your pretty red tractor!!! Great post, my friend!!!

    Have a marvelous Monday, Kimberly!
