The Farm Life!

I mentioned in one of my previous posts that we have a lot of animals, and that is true. I guess you could say we live on a "little Farm" compared to most people. Between the donkey's braying, and the rooster crowing at dawn, we have about 69 animals on our property... well thats if I counted right, and I think I did :) Anywho, we have a LOT of animals, and we all take turns caring for this collection of animals. So there is a fair amount of work to be done around here. And there are times where it can get a little over whelming, but thats what you get when you do what we do. And I don't mind the work at all. I mean of course I have my days where I really don't want to wake up at 5:00 (IN THE MORNING) to milk the cow! I mean who doesn't?!

But, I will be the first to say that I am a Cowgirl at heart. I think I even kinda have this little pride thing going on... I just take so much pride in wearing my cow-hat, and getting calloused hands from working outside (thats weird, I know)! I just LOVE being able to milk my own milk, gather my own eggs in the morning, or pick the tomatoes for my salad. There is just something about the country life that is like no other! The work ethic that comes with having a farm is just so beautiful to me. You become a very disciplined person, with a lot of responsibilities. And it really sets you on the right beginning to the path of life. The sense of accomplishment, that comes from getting dirty, cutting your finger, or just doing dog-gone hard work, is so incredibly amazing!!!

I do hope to find MY good ol Cowboy, God created me to be with, and start my own "ranch" someday. But we will see what God has planed for this Cowgirl!!!

Now I know that not EVERYONE can be a cowgirl, or cowboy, and thats fine, I respect that. But IIII will keep on doing what I love, and COWGIRL-IT-UP till the break of day!!! :D
