Friday Farm Favorites: Spring Scenes

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.

It’s amazing how quickly the environment transforms this time of year. We left Saturday morning to go out of town for a couple of days, and the farm looked so much “springier” when we got home–lots of blooms and green! 🌱
Have a wonderful week, Joey! 🙂

Thank you. I love walking around the farm and garden when the weather is changing. The sun was shining one moment, and then, there were raindrops. It definitely adds a bit of interest to the scene.
