Our place is named "sagehills" as that's about all we have here.

New place (in 10 days and counting) does not have a name yet.


sage

I may have to reregister under a new name here as we will not have any sagebrush!

We just call it "the farm". Rather than exerting a lot of energy trying to figure out a name we'll just wait until the right name presents itself. And if it never does, that's ok too.

I'm a Monty Python fan and I have always wanted a ranch called Anthrax Ranch or Anthrax Acres. If you've seen Quest for the Holy Grail, you'd understand.

Wild Abandon.
It needed work when we got it, and it keeps needing work.
But it's beautiful.

My place is called Singletree Knoll, but since the sign got wiped out by high winds, its called "No Trespassing" and "Keep Out" now. Think I like those signs better than Singletree Knoll :haha:

Oh, my husband would like that! For now, he just refers to it as the Ponderosa. (16 acres hardly qualifies as a ranch, but to him, it feels huge!)

Not yet!

Hi Y'all,

We're kinda vaciillating between "Hummingbird Hill" and

"Hummingbird Farm", because of the swarms of the Hummers we see at the

feeders, every day, in summer. Over 40 at times.

Sharon is getting ready to make the sign, & she wants "Hummingbird Hill".

So I guess that's the name

When we get our land, I would like to call it Free Spirit Farm, unless a better name comes up.
