• Mar. 6, 2008 - In the Eyes of My 6 Year Old
So I was checking out Marsha's blog and saw her hilarious entry about how her little guy saw a picture of Dwight D. Eisenhower and thought it was his dad.
I laughed ... and I sympathized.
See the other day, Tony came home from TSC with their latest edition of Out Here.
Now take a look at the cover...
and then look at this picture from my UnlikelyHomesteader blog...
Poor Jon thought I was not only writing for TOS, but that I was now getting my picture right on the cover of a different magazine. (sigh)
Alas, that's not the case. That lady is the owner of Painted Hand Farm (which sounds really cool - and not just because it's in Pennsylvania) and they've got not only chickens and a garden, they're big time farm folks with sheep, cows, and the such too. When I checked out her site and blog, I was really impressed with not only all they've done, but with how many magazines they've been featured in, and how quickly they seemed to have learned so much. They only started out with all this farming stuff about 4 years before we did and we're still trying to raise a decent garden and a few meatbirds, keep some laying hens, and just learn how to take care of this place.
Some folks apparently do a better job of riding the learning curve!
Nonetheless, I'm flattered that my son thinks I could actually be a Cover Girl for any kind of magazine and I'm a little more inspired to stick with this whole farming thing. It's always just interesting to see things through your 6 year old's eyes. It's not like he thought I was a president or anything, but an official farm girl is good enough for me.
(And on the totally shallow side, look how tan she is and how long her hair is?! I am NOT blessed with either!)
