We've been blessed to live at The Bunkhouse for the past two years....out in the country. When we moved out here, we intended on staying about 3 months. With moving from another city and opening our own business, my Mamma C told us we could stay as long as we needed. Thank the Lord for her sweetness, because it's taken us 2 years to get back on our feet. It's funny because I have always been a city girl. But being out here has taught me soooo much about being a country girl. So, I made a list of the Top Ten Reasons You Know You've Been Countrified!

10. "Mousetraps" is at the top of your grocery list.

9. You let your daughter play on the front porch in underpants and rubber boots, cause who's gonna see her? The cows?

8. You've mastered the "turkey call," and they answer back.

7. You always remind your daughter to look down when walking outside, as to not step on a snake.

6. When the teacher asks your daughter if she has any pets, she says, "Why yes. I have 1 dog, 3 fish, 17 cows, 3 beehives, lots of wild pigs and deer.

5. When you talk to the bees in your "goo-goo" voice like they're your babies.

4. You plant flowers/veggies in pots, then build a barbed wire fence around them, so the deer, cows and raccoons don't get into them.

3. When you get a nightly knock on the door from a raccoon you've named Ringo.

2. You wake up 10 minutes earlier in the mornings just to have time to drive off the land.
1. You spend every evening pulling the sticker burrs out of your long haired (city dog's) fur.
