ok, we have a problem.....
as some of you may know, we have recently purchased 10(not !)) acres to build a house on. it's a great place, tons of trees and rocks, and we keep going out there to do little odd jobs. but we need a name for it. it's getting old calling it "the land". so we need a name like terra, or the ponderosa ,or whatever. just not too pretencious or stupid(shup tilt).

a little pertainant info...... it's on summer rain road, on round mountain. heavily wooded, gently sloped, square shaped, over looking lake sequoyah on the white river. we have a good view of the boston mountains.

Don't make me do it, LOLOLOLOL!


This is such a deadly comeback, it would demean ME to hit you with it. It's soooooooo go-for-the-throat direct, simple and absolutely tailor-made for Only You... you'd have an instantaneously terminal hissyfit and break your damn keyboard. And you'd still be pissed off weeks later.

I'm not even going to give you the slightest hint, but TRUST ME: I'm LMFA OFF!

First of all, it will be a bit pretentious to name the land, especially if it's only 10 acres. That's really not so much.

But, I'd suggest heading to the local library and researching the area. There might be a Native American name or historical figure/place that you could use.

How about Round Rock?

We called our place in Vermont, "Kelsey Rock".
It was on Kelsey Mountain and there was a rather tall cliff behind the house....quite rugged...23 acres.

One of the contractors said, "you buildin' on that damn rock?"

Henry was litte(3) and called it "Telsey Wock".

I don't think naming it is pretentious.

Now naming it Tara or Camelot THAT would be pretentious.

JUST WAIT
Don't be in a rush (not limbaugh). Something will happen, or you'll discover something on the place to give it significance. That's when it will have it's name. Don't just name it something that sounds cool. Name it something that has meaning.

lmao at everyone but tilt...
oh yea, i can't believe i left this out. we see a pair of awesome red foxes alot out there. there are den holes all over the place. i asked the neighborsif they ever see them and they said yes, they are very tame and come real close to you like 10 feet from you.my wife's already schemeing on making a jogging traill around the perimeter(about 2,400 feet).


i like the idea of making it meaningful and pertinant. there is a small ridge across the top side with an old rock wall, which is mostly in tact.


lmao, some of these are pretty good though.


we're not naming it just to name it. we just don't wanna call it "the land" any more.


maybe we could just start callin it home. hmmm....nah, then we'de be like...old home or new home? maybe foxden, or fox run.

Anything with a "fox" in it could be mistaken for a strip joint.

We had a hairless fox in the neighborhood a couple of years ago.
I $h!tchyoo not!
It was one of the most bizarro things I've seen.
Without their hair they are some skinny.

When I was a kid we lived in a neighborhood known as Fox Chase, so named because of fox hunts allegedly held there in the proverbial olden days.

Fox Den sounds cool, and when you build your dream house you can build a den for your fox as well, you sly old fox you.
