Farmisms.....

A few little Farmism's from Sandy:

Living in the country, the phrase, “Let’s run to town to pick up beer (or milk or a tractor part or gas for the mower) gets me super excited.  I just love “going to town”.  Of course, I usually sit in the truck and wait for Cris to get whatever he went to town for but I love it. I sometimes end up with a Dr. Pepper and a Good Humor Strawberry Shortcake ice cream.

Give me a tractor or riding lawn mower with a full take of gas and I could mow all day long.  I just love the feeling of accomplishment….. It is immediate gratification….you mow a strip and right away it looks better.  I feel that way about vacuuming too.  Just ask Cris about my fascination with vacuums, brooms and mops. 

The difference between 95 degrees and 85 degrees is night and day.  I learned that a couple weeks ago after we had a brief drizzle at the farm…. The temp turned from 95 to 85, humidity was lower and it was heaven. 

Two people working together make the chores easier to handle.  (duh!)

Just because the Great Pyrenees your friend owns had 6 of the most adorable puppies you have ever seen, that does NOT mean we can have one.  They are livestock guard dogs and we don’t have livestock yet. 

It is OK to name the female cows but not the male cows.  The female cows stay on the farm to have babies and the male cows end up on the dinner plate.
