These photographs were taken in the spring a few years ago. I especially love that Clover, one of my favorite sheep, seemed to enjoy watching the chickens scratch in the grass and chase bugs.

My name is Tonya, and I grew up on a 300-acre farm in rural Virginia that has been in my family for over 100 years. After graduating from college, receiving my master’s degree in speech and language pathology, and living and working in a small city for six years, I decided to return to the place of my childhood. Here, in this rural area, on this patch of green, where for four generations my family has farmed, gardened, and lived, I, too wanted to be a part of this continuity. As a fourth generation farmgirl, I have many interests that not only include, but also go beyond the basics of farming, gardening, sheep and chicken-keeping. It is all of this and more that I plan on sharing in this blog.

Sort of funny, actually….maybe we should start doing captions for some of these pix of your animal friends!

I know! It probably wouldn’t be difficult since they have so much personality! 🙂

These are delightful. I am really jealous of you. This summer heat and stone walls is killing. Looking at them makes me want to hug them. Do they like being hugged?

Thank you! I do believe that Clover and Hamish would allow me to hug them. They were bottle feed as lambs and are very tame. They both love being petted. Hamish really enjoys having his head and ears rubbed. They are both sweethearts.
I hope you get a break from the heat soon! 🙂

Hamish loves attention! So, I know he’ll be happy to have a hug from you. I’m heading to the pasture now. 🙂
