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.

But you know, new landscapes are nice, too. Especially these 🙂

Thank you Tonya, that quote from Miller is such a beautiful truth. Amazing Grace is amongst the loveliest of songs … it was my father’s favourite and we sang it at his funeral with a bagpiper playing in the door way of the church. It never ceases to move me and I feel very calm and centered to start my day for listening to that angelic recording. Your picture is the icing on the bun. ❤️

Thank you for your lovely comment, Osyth. I agree with you…Amazing Grace is a beautiful song. And, I’m sure hearing it played by a bagpiper was even more moving. I’m glad this post contributed to a positive start to your day. 🙂❤️

I love Amazing Grace too. Written by a Bristol slave ship captain who finally realeased the horror of his trade and lived the rest of his life in repentance cleaning his the floors of his own church.
