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.

That’s so nice of you to say! Thank you, Linda. 🙂 I started taking art lessons a couple of years ago, and I’ve completed approximately 20 paintings. So far, I’ve only given a few to friends and family, but I hope to sell my art in the future. Currently, reproductions of some of my paintings (I still need to download more), etc. are available from the following website:
