I have to admit that I find this time of year a little drear. Not only is it gray and bleak outside, but it’s also freezing cold. And, to make matters worse, the sun goes down around 5 p.m. The combination of gray, bleak, cold, and dark is somewhat of a downer. Plus, all the merry-making has come to a […]

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.
