Connection
“Your heart understood mine. In the depth of the fragrant night, I listened with ravished soul to your beloved voice. Your heart understood mine.”

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 love that opera. Did you listen to/see it last Saturday from the Met?

The Met performance was shown at a local theatre on Saturday. I had planned to go, but my husband and I ended up going out of town. It was the inspiration for this post.

I also wasn’t able to attend. Thee is a beautiful old cinema about 45 mins. away which is where I get to for most performances. Having heard that one, I will aim for the repeat performance. Nice to meet another opera fan.
