Tuesday Tunes: Stand
“You are way too talented, gifted, and unusual to let anyone keep you from standing.”

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.

Those sunflowers are beautiful Tonya, and I love the quote too 🙂

I love sunflowers, and these were growing at a winery I visited a couple of weeks ago. They were so huge! Thanks a bunch, Judy. 🙂

Thanks so much, George. Music and Lyrics is a favorite film of mine–lots of good lines.
Scott and I have seen the musical, Wicked a couple of times. That song is so powerful, especially when it’s performed live on stage. 🙂

I agree. We saw it on a Broadway quite a few years ago and you’re right about how it affects you in person.

I was really moved the first time I saw it.

Beautiful photo, Tonya. But I might be one of the only folks in the world that just doesn’t enjoy Idina M. Something about her upper register is like nails on a chalkboard to me. Maybe I just saw/heard Frozen too often ???

Thanks, Van. I can see your point, but I like the overall message of the song and the power of her voice. I may be the only person on earth who hasn’t seen the film, Frozen. 🙂
