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?

The Sage In Bloom.....



...is like perfume...Deep in the Heart of Texas.

Two little days of rain and everything has come alive. I was concerned about my sage not blooming. It's happy now, and so are the bees!
