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 buy flowers every week to put beside my wife’s ashes This week it had to be roses which were her favorite. It’s sad though that she can’t be here for me to present them to her and see her face light up.

What beautiful roses Tonya! And perfect for today, of course. I just loved the movie “The Rose.” Bette Midler was so good in that, both performance- and singing-wise. Happy Valentine’s Day Tonya!

Makes me think that spring is in the air, and it’ll feel that way this weekend…:)
Love the song and she’s always been a favorite of mine. Saw her in concert once and she was as entertaining as you might imagine..:)

I know! We’ve had unseasonably warm weather lately. It was 75 degrees last Sunday, 50s this week, and back to 70s this weekend. I’m ready for spring!!😊☀️
I love the song, too. I hadn’t heard it in a long time. I think it’s really beautiful. I’m sure Bette Midler was fantastic in concert. She’s such a performer! Thanks, George. 🙂
