So we've been bandying about names for a little while. We haven't decided which we like best. We want your input. If all goes well, we will be marketing at least our honey to the general public, so you, general public reader, get to have a say.
See that poll on the right? Make your choice there.
J came up with The Hearty Halfling. I thought up the rest. Personally, I think The Hearty Halfling sounds like a great pub. I almost wish we were opening a pub, instead of starting a homestead, just so we could use it. I can see the round red door now.
BUT. We aren't starting a pub.
The last time we went to look over the house, I found a giant thistle had grown and died in the backyard, sending thistledown and seeds all over the place. Hence, Thistledown Farms. J doesn't like it because there are already half a dozen Thistledown Farms in various parts of the country. But it is pretty, right?
There is a dip in the yard, and ferns grow in the woods next to the house. Ferndale.
Pennywhistle Farms would be a nod to my insturament of choice in our musical family. Doubtless as long as I have time to practice, a pennywhistle will be heard frequently on the homestead. J plays the guitar, but Acoustic Classical Guitar Homestead just doesn't flow, ya know?
Hummingbird Hollow would be in memory of my father, who passed away in July and loved birds. He spent the last year of his life watching and photographing hummingbirds in Arizona.
Make a choice, let your voice be heard, and vote for the name of our homestead!
