Our garden is a sanctuary of sorts. It’s a place to unwind, think, enjoy…..and just be. I love watching the ever-changing sky with clouds of various colors, sizes, and textures as well as the many birds that visit our flowers and feeders. The solitude of this place is definitely good for the soul.
Have a lovely weekend!
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.
