I thought I would share some images and a few simple joys that were highlights of my week. I love spring bulbs, especially hyacinths as they remind me of Grandma Rieley. When I was a child, Grandma had a bulb garden full of hyacinths at the side of the house (where we live now). I’ve always adored the fragrant […]

Hamish is one of our two sheep that was a bottle-fed lamb. He has tons of personality and a little bit of attitude as well. Whenever we are outside, he always baaahs at us to say hello. And, when it’s time for grain, well, I do believe he would walk up to the house…

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.
