Tying One On at the Farmgirl Blog-A-Thon

I learned about a “Farm Girl Blog-A-Thon!” in progress through May 7. This week’s theme is “Tie One On” to celebrate the utility and art of the apron.

Love it.

I also liked this rundown of what it means to be a Farmgirl. My answers are in all caps. From Garden Goose:

Do you love having that little flock of back yard chickens (even in the city?/or dream of having chickens in your yard one day?) YES.

Do you love growing your own food items? YES.

Love being thrifty and frugal? YES.

Love wearing an apron, or simply collecting them? ABSOLUTELY.

Love a “dirty manicure” from planting seeds in the soil? NOT REALLY, THOUGH I DON’T FEAR DIRT.

Do you love bringing the simpler ways of living into your life and home? YES. Love cooking good old home style meals? YES. Love canning your own foods? HAVEN’T TRIED IT YET. Or dream about one day actually having a bit of land to stretch out on? ALREADY DO.

Then you are a Farm Girl!..(or Farm Girl at heart!) YAY!!!

As always, there’s more Farmgirl news and discussion at MaryJanesFarm Farmgirl Connection.

In honor of this week’s theme, I’m posting a photo of my current favorite apron. I bought it from the Farmgirls who sell on Etsy. It’s super cute and so were the ones I bought for iFarmersTwin and 4HChamp.

My other fav is a lacy dealy that was passed down in the family. It’s so nice I actually can’t imagine wearing it…unless I there are absolutely no red sauces or wines on the menu.
