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 been in the 70s recently but now heading down into upper 50s-60s. A lot of trees in bloom but now we are getting some cooler temps which seem more in line with Winter.

We’ve only had a few warm days this winter. I think the rest of the week is supposed to be in the upper 60s/lower 70s and rainy. My spring bulbs are starting to come up! Thanks for visiting. 🙂🌱

We could use more rainy here. Many have a shower this week. 🙂

It’s been dry here until recently. We had a lot of rain last week. Our farm was too muddy to use the tractor; however, it’s drying out a little with the sunshine. 🙂

We almost hit 70 a couple weeks ago and painted our house! It got down to 10 degrees last night and hovering in the 30s now. Thanks for the balmy picture and beachy music to warm me up!

It’s so great to get something accomplished on one of these warm days. It makes me feel like I’m getting ahead! 🙂 We were able to gather the sheep last Sunday and administer vaccinations, etc. It was so nice to be out in the sunshine with our woollies. 🙂
Brrr! 70 to 30…it’s been like that here all winter. At least your house looks pretty. Stay warm! Thanks, Kathryn.

Oh I love Hopper’s work, Tonya! Ah, it was 65 degrees here in Chicago yesterday, and today’s high is half of that! I’m not sure how to dress from one day to the next! LOL I hope you have a lovely day, regardless of the weather, Tonya! Cher xo

Thank you, Cher. You’re right—this weather makes it very difficult to plan a seasonal wardrobe. Stay warm! 🙂

We’re enjoying an oddly warm streak of weather, too. It’s too early to depend on spring, but it sure does make for a nice change of pace. Have a great weekend!
