that sounds so pretty (maybe cuz it makes me think of "falling water") certainly makes reality more romantic

I loved reading all the stories - so much heart in all of em!

Our place is ccshambhala. CC for Charles City + Shambhala (wiki.org : In Tibetan Buddhist tradition, Shambhala (also spelled Shambala or Shamballa; Tibetan: bde byung, pron. De-jung) is a mythical kingdom hidden somewhere beyond the snowpeaks of the Himalayas.... Shambhala (Tib. bde 'byung) is a Sanskrit term meaning "place of peace/tranquility/happiness". ) I have ideas for a sign - but it's still on the "to do " list (which has gotten quite long with all these animals lol) We bought our place with 8 acres (mostly cleared) and just added 9 more (bordered by a creek) acres (of woods) a couple months ago.
Growing up my parents place was always "Timbuktu" and -not to be outdone- by sister named her townhouse in northern va Katmandu (as she has 2 cats).

ccshambhala Sounds like a peacefull place you have there. Looks like you have quite a collection of folks and critters living with you to keep life interesting.

You will enjoy this forum and the people here. As you have seen from this thread they are a wonderful group.

In you personality post it says you live on 3 acres in the hills. Just an idea but, how about Hilly Acres. Just a thought.

We are DragonFly Farm, and we have DragonFly Eggs to sell to friends and family.
In our pond, we hatch out red and blue DragonFlies. They flutter around all summer, it is delightful. Once I read about the life cycle of Dragon Flies, I wa totally amazed. Did you know that Dragon Flies and Damsflies are totally different, first the size and then how the wings fold up!
We have added dragonfly solar lights to our yard, and dragonfly lights to our gazebo. Now as long as the Delightful Dozen don't eat (or can't catch) the real dragonflies, I will be satisfied.

I had a 10 acre ranch that I had to sell a couple of years ago named The Broken Oak- it had a very large oak tree at the corner of the property, and one very stormy and windy night the left half of the tree came crashing down. Hence the name The Broken Oak. I never did get around to making a sign for it, though.

We are not a farm, perhaps a smallholding would describe us. We are in rural Mid Wales, UK and our house name is welsh. We have a small orchard on the land and named the house Berllan Deg which is welsh for "fine orchard". You say it bear -ll - an daig.

JR's Farm

My name starts with J his with R. Plus we have lots of kids who run it. Our kids help a ton. It just seemed to fit.

jacyjones that is a nice name I find it a bit hard to roll off my tongue yet. What type of trees are they and how many is considered an orchard? We have 2 apple trees and 3 grape vines. I wish to add a pear tree in the next 3 years if possable.

Linda I love the name of your place and the information of the dragonfly. Your place sounds nice.
