I'm glad you like the blog, I'm always a little amazed that anyone would want read it. Your comments are an encouragement. Ginny Hmmmmm, you must naturally smell "country". :) Hi Lynn Good to hear from the Turtle Mt clan! I know what you mean about the wood smoke. The other day the stove pipe sections fell apart for no apparent reason. Talk about smoke! Allen Oh boy, I know how strong those bucks can smell. You'd have to change your skin as well as your clothes :) It is good to see you folks have joined the Christian Agrarian blogging world. I look forward to reading your posts. And for the record, I agree that a chicken tractor is strange thing to call those moveable pens. I still have a hard time saying it without feeling goofy. Hi Beth

Usually when I come in from feeding and a comment is made about how I smell - I know the adjective used will not be "good!" It doesn't matter how much hay I handle, I cant resist scratching even the buck goats behind the ear a little. Although I try to keep feeding clothes separate from our "town clothes" I have to admit that I'm a little leery about running into people with keen smellers. Scott,

It permeates everything in our house. Guess there are worse things to smell like! I still feel a bit unnerved whenever I get a hug from someone and they comment on how they love the wood smoke smell!

People tell me that they can smell me too but it's because I hang my clothes out to dry and they can actually smell what "clean" is. No flower garden or spring rainfall scents on my clothes, just good old sunshine and fresh air. A musty, moth ball-ey smell can take me back to my grandmother's basement in a heartbeat. I just loved going into her basement and spent a lot of time with her down there, putting up her canned goods and spreading her potatoes and peanuts in the root cellar part of the basement. I love your blog. I'm mainly a lurker but I just wanted you to know that I am a faithful reader. Beth Oh, that’s funny.
