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.

So true, Tonya!

Thanks, Sally. I completely agree with you. It’s so easy to get caught up in our everyday routines, forgetting to pay attention to all of the beauty and miracles around us. 🙂

Thanks, Laura. The photo was taken in Meadows of Dan, Virginia (near Floyd).
I feel like I’m always working on this. I’m mindful for a while, then I slip back into stressing out about ticking off things on my “to do” list. But, this quote really made an impression—one day at a time. Best wishes on your journey. 🙂
