Name Your Property

[ustmd]

We are Pink Flamingo Farm.

Before we moved to the sub-rural zone, our next door neighbor had very definite ideas about what a yard should look like--grass mowed daily, no trees, shrubs or ornaments and was not shy about sharing his ideas. Well, we did keep the lawn mowed, but we planted trees, shrubs, and flowers. Needless to say, the neighbor was not happy. So just to tweak him so more, we put out a flock of plastic pink flamingos in the front yard.

When he saw them.....I did not realize it was possible for a human being to turn that shade of purple....

Love it! Sounds just like something I would do.

Ours is the "Poor Farm."
House was built about 1790 but arround 1850 it WAS the town Poor Farm. 1850 census shows 7 families plus the caretaker family.

We are also looking for name for our place. If I need a "handle" in example for Weather Underground I call it House in Medora. But wife would like some more poetic name. We have leaky pond but I don't think it would do it. We have about 33 acres of restored prairie so Blooming Prairie or some of that sort might be considered. We have lot of wildlife such as foxes, coyotes, bobcats, turkeys, deer, pheasants, quail and many others. We might select name based on that. Wife is a green thumb so her nickname is Kytička (Tender flower) so I suggested Kyticka's Paradise or Garden but it didn't spark much enthusiasm either. We are still looking for a fitting name. Friend of mine has farm where he built a cabin named by his mom Sanity Acres. I like that one but it is taken.

The name of your property/house doesn't have to be two or three words... one will suffice.

I have friends in Willow Tree, NSW whose property is simply called "Oaklyn". When I mail something to them, that's all that I put on the address (other than the post code); Oaklyn, Willow Tree NSW (post code).

'Leeside'
It was the name of my family farm, which was split and sold years ago, it seems even more fitting for this place as it is tucked in the lee of a hill and lies to the sun.. then was searching Google Earth and discover it was named Leeside on there!! So Leeside it is. Hopefully the boys will run it as Blair Bros. too, one day, as Dad and his brother did the original one.
Always wondered why so many tourists come up the road to turn around, until I made the Google connection!

"For sale" is the name of ours right now.

Maybe with some luck you will be changing the name to "SOLD"

My home was built by my parent's, and they named it Marywood Farm, to honor the Virgin Mary. I've kept that name, and use it on the wine labels for our homemade wine.
Our cottage in Canada is named Bending Birch Cottage. A friend of mine made a sign to hang up there, but it is so nice that I keep it at home where I can see it more often.

FORGOTTEN ONES FARM. I can't tell you how many things I have done for everyone in my family. There isn't enough time and space here to write it all down. I never asked for anything in return I only asked to be respected, had consideration for and appreciated for what I did. I have always said I will help anyone as long as they help themselves in doing what is right. But when you see your being taken advantage of and tell them your no longer the brace that holds everything up for them then your some kind if a you know what and then the lies start and soon forgotten. I know I shouldn't have done so much and should have sat back and let them find their own way of solving their own problems and not had the hand out when they asked but always had a big heart and material things and money never meant that much to me. But the minute I said (example you need to buy a new furnace and not a four wheeler I became the you know what and forgotten all together. So hence the forgotten ones farm. Me, myself and I. A few head of cattle, chickens and a couple hogs. It's either right or wrong, black or white. No gray area in my life. It pays to be crooked and cost to be honest.
