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.

This is like walking into an enchanted garden. Especially loved that arch with white floors before the house. So lovely 🙂 Perhaps it will inspire a fairy tale.

Thank you, Prajakta! The photo with the arch was taken at Sudeley Castle, just outside the chapel where Catherine Parr is entombed. She was Henry VIII’s 6th and final wife. Sudeley Castle really is an enchanting place. I’ve been there a number of times, but I never tire of it. 🙂
