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 am bereft … never gave up hoping I’d dance with him some time. Guess I’ll have to wait a while longer 😌

I can’t believe it. My friend and I just saw him in concert a couple of months ago.
I’ve always loved his music. I can still remember listening to his songs on my old clock radio as a kid.
Dancing with Tom Petty is a lovely and happy thought….one day. 😌

Thank you for posting this, Tonya. My family all liked and respected Tom Petty. This has one of the best songs while I also liked his time spent with Stevie Nicks. ❤

I thought of you when I heard the news, knowing you had just seen him recently. So very sad but a gift of music he gave to all of us.
Love this song. Now there’s still another empty chair that won’t be filled. But the reunion up there must be amazing..:)

Thanks, George. Tom Petty’s music had great appeal. And, I think it’s because his lyrics and sentiment were so authentic and honest. His passing was very sad and shocking news. I’m so glad my friend and I were able to attend one of his concerts this summer.
I’m happy you enjoyed the song. I love it too. The Traveling Wilburys represented such an amazing group of talent. 🙂
