Friday Farm Favorites: Christmas Memories
“I will honor Christmas in my heart, and try to keep it all the year.”
–Charles Dickens
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.

Nice memories of Christmas spent over the years with loved ones! I do not have photos of Christmas spent with anyone. I don’t like taking photos and none of my family members do either. Maybe that is why my siblings are not close to me.
