Categories: Acrostic Poem, Friday Farm Favorites
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.

The various colored eggs remind me of my best friend here in my little town, Jenny. She gives me blue, green, brown and speckled eggs, tells me how to see if they are still “fresh,” too. I liked this clever poem, Tonya! Wonderful and cheerful post, my friend! 🙂
