Have I told you that I grew up with chickens and beautiful fresh eggs?
Way back then it wasn't necessarily trendy like it is today, but we still did it.
My parents would never be classified as trendy kind of people.
For goodness sake...my sweet dad still wears the darkest of dark blue jeans with a crease.
What are the chances that he's reading this, since it's on a computer?
But if he is....
Dad, I mean that part about your darkest dark blue jeans in the very nicest way!
I never appreciated the upbringing that they gave me until I was long gone from their house.
Looking back, it was good to have to work in the garden and do all of the yard work and fetch the eggs.
I hated every minute of it while I was doing it, but oh the lessons I learned.
I spent most of my twenties trying to run from the inner farmgirl that lives in me.
Not anymore.
My entire thirties have been spent thanking God for all that my parents taught me.
Pretty much what I'm trying to say is...
I'm not gonna rest until I have some chickens and fresh eggs in my yard!
Someday!
isn't funny the things that seemed so stuffy and "old" about the way we lived growing up seems suddenly the only way to live when you are "grown"...
ReplyDeleteI know it's so funny the things we appreciate now that we didn't when we were younger, what I wouldn't give to spend every summer on our sailboat.....I am with ya on the farm gonna happen one day!! Maybe I can take you out to Ken and Sandi's when you are here, you would die to see her hen house.
ReplyDeleteWhat lovely images!

My husband grew up on a farm....and sadly for me, he didn't stop running from his inner farmboy. I'm still hoping that someday he will : ) ~Stacey
ReplyDeleteMy dad does the jean thing too...he goes for the light jeans though. :D I didn't truly appreciate the upbringing I had either until just recently in my 30's.
ReplyDeleteI feel the same way. I grew up with chickens too! My friends have a hobby farm and it makes me want my own chicks sooo bad. They just make a house homey right?:)
ReplyDeleteThats right girl! Follow your heart! Thats what God intended!~ lulu
