I absolutely love fizzy and sparkling wines! And, since New Year’s Eve celebrations are fast approaching, I thought it may be fun and helpful to share some information about Champagne and sparkling wines. I’ve also included a few of my favorites. Champagne: First, all that sparkles isn’t Champagne. Sparkling wine can only be called…

As a child of the 80’s, I grew up listening to Madonna and Cyndi Lauper as well as other artists; however, in eighth grade, I was probably more of a Cyndi Lauper fan. Much to my mother’s chagrin, I occasionally sneaked out of the house wearing iridescent pink and green eyeshadows applied in a rainbow fashion in an attempt to […]

Winter morning on the Blue Ridge Parkway in Meadows of Dan, Virginia.
I. LOVE. Peanut butter. So, it makes sense that I would also love peanut butter cookies; however, it’s not just the taste that endears me to this special treat. It’s also the memories. When I was a girl, peanut butter cookies were always the cookie I wanted to make with Mom. I so enjoyed rolling the little balls of dough […]
I so enjoyed this post by the author of TBN Ranch blog. “Carol of the Bells” is one of my favorite Christmas carols; however, I had not quite heard it performed in this manner. The choir of chickens clucking out the tune completely cracked me up! I hope you’ll visit TBN Ranch blog and enjoy a slightly different version of […]

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.
