Country living is teaching me a lot. Stuff that used to totally creep me out now only mildly does.
1. I can pick up snakes (ok, they were both really small and I had already been told by a conservation expert that the one "WILL NOT BITE YOU!"
2. I am not phased by night-time creature noises any longer.
3. I can clean a fish.
4. I can also do all other sort of fishing related activities (bait hook, take fish off hook, string fish, etc.)
5. I can open and willfully plunge my hands into a bag labeled "manure"
6. Ticks are no match for me with a pair of tweezers.
7. Dirt? What dirt? I thought that my kids' skin was naturally that color.
These are just a few of the things that don't necessarily phase me, but just so you know that I've not totally abandoned my city girl roots...
1. I still crave a good trip to town nearly everyday.
2. Sometimes I wish I still had that certainty that when I entered my house I was leaving the outdoors behind.
3. And as I type this post I can hear the little squeaky cries of a mouse stuck to a glue trap under our stove and I refuse to go take care of it. I'm not to that point yet, but give me another year.

Oh my goodness.... you've got me way beat!!! And that's ok with me. :o) I learned this weekend that not only are my girls afraid of grass--which we knew, but they are terrified of horses (and goats)too. Granted, they WERE nuzzling their backs, and full sized-to-large at that... I've got a couple little concrete-loving, city princess... oh well.
