I know I am on my farm when...

• There is a sign in the kitchen saying "Welcome to the Nuthouse"
• I wake up with cows mooing and a rooster telling me it is way too early to be awake
• Everyone talks at the same time, all the time
• There is very bad cellphone reception
• I see photos of our childhood where we all wore exactly the same clothes (called The Christmas Collection)
• My grandfather and grandmother comes to visit every night at exactly the same time and sits silently and amazed by all the activity going on around them
• We eat non-stop (3 big meals and millions of snacks in between)
• I see my "Thinking Spot" from my childhood (two trees that used to be small and have a space to sit in between to think, but now have grown up(just like me) and has no more space in between for me to sit and think
• I walk out the door and can look into the future (it really feels like that when I can stare into endless fields stretching out forever in front of me)
• Geese try to attack me at least once a day
• We make the same jokes as 10 years before with each other and still laugh as if it is the first time we've ever made that joke
• I can smell pig poo when I poke my nose out the door
• We fight and tease and talk a lot of nonsense, but we all know we love each other more than life itself
• We have quiet time with the Lord every evening (when you are younger and it is in your favorite TV program's time, this does not make you happy, but now I realise that this is one of the most special memories of my childhood and something I miss so much when I am not here)
• There is 8 dogs (1 that can smile) and 45 cats (this number drops whenever a dog gets hold of one off them) and 1 horse (we used to have a Spanish donkey, but she sadly passed away)
• I feel completely peaceful and at Home...
