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.

Your autumn looks different than here….maybe just not as progressed yet? Will you eventually get snow where you are or just a bit less warm? Love these pix, Tonya.

Thank you, Torrie. We usually get snow in January and February; however, it changes year to year. Sometimes we hardly have snow, but lately we’ve been having a few snowstorms during the winter.

Thank you so much! You are very kind! I have read posts that you recommended initially–I read about your beloved father. It was a beautiful and moving tribute to him. Thank you for recommending more posts! I will read them soon. 🙂
I look forward to talking with you. Take care!

Love your photos! Sheep are my favorite farm animal. We had a few at one time, and used to bottle feed orphan lambs. Such pretty animals, and the farm is gorgeous.
