The Weekly Bleat: Here Comes the Sun
Sweet Clover basking in the sun.
After days and days of gray weather and rain, we all took a moment last weekend to soak up a little sunshine and enjoy beautiful blue skies. And, it was wonderful!
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.

We’ve had thunderstorms almost every day as well as flooding. Some places have had it very bad, but we’ve been fairly lucky with only a little water in the basement and barn. I hope your property is okay.

At least all the rain brings green pastures and lots of grass for the sheep. Thank you for your kind comment. 🙂🌻

Summer in Florida is the rainy season but May was unusual with over 10 inches of rain in our area. We had days upon days of grey and rainy days but the last two have been sunny so I know how you feel.
