Hope
“All the great things are simple, and many can be expressed in a single word: freedom, justice, honor, duty, mercy, hope.”
~Winston Churchill

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.

Tolerance, Love and Hugs should be added to that list Tonya.

No finer words, no finer man, no greater leader, no more appropriate choice of tribute to the victims of this vile act and the people of Manchester who will, I know, stand firm and shoulder to shoulder and refuse to give in. Never. Never. Never. Thank you Tonya

Wonderful quote, Tonya. I often think about people with whom I would like to have dinner. Churchill is definitely one. He was a bright and farsighted man.
