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.

I think they’re just happy to have a break with the rain so they can get out of the barn! 🙂

I don’t think it will. There’s a hurricane on its way up the coast, and the weather forecast is calling for 5-10 inches of rain this weekend. We’ve already been receiving watches and warnings for flooding this week. But, thank you! 😊💦💦

Thank you, Deborah. Whenever the snow begins falling, I always get my camera and head outside to capture a few pics. 🙂
