[Ravensfort] Name for new site

[Berta Allen]

"Ravens South Forty"
"South Forty of the Fort"
"Raven South Forty-Five"
(okay, enough for now)
 
...It will take awhile for a name to be settled upon as VNV stated earlier & in the meantime, many, many names will be exchanged, tossed around &/or just thrown right out... hahaha
~chrystal~
 
ps- 
Detlef: Alanna of Ravenwood would love to have it named "Raven(s)wood" I'm sure!  ;o)

When I dropped off the auger at the "new site" yesterday, the conversation turned to how green everything is getting everywhere on site.  It is a striking change.  
Where as The Stones site has mostly pines which are evergreens that change little, the "new site" is mostly hardwoods that lose their leaves completely in the winter months.  
The wild grass sleeps which adds to the predominant somber brown look of the "new site" during the cold season. This is a welcome change in the perpetual pine color of the Big Thicket. Then the warming sun swings north again bringing with it renewal and rebirth. Without a doubt, the absolute best time of the year to be in east Texas is the spring time.  The sprouting green is almost iridescent.
The "new site" demonstrates that with dramatic contrast. Perhaps when we finally settle on a name for the "new site" it should have something to do with "seasons" or "color" or "contrast" or "the circle of life". This is just brainstorming for consideration when pondering what rolls off the thong comfortably in regards to "new site".
Long live the Raven.

Ya know, for the first few years what we now call "The Stones" was called "the new site".  It took years for a personality and the name to develop.  Perhaps we should just let the site select a name of it's own.  I am sure something appropriate will evolve.  I like all the creative brain storming, but there really is no need to force anything to be set in stone right away.  Everyone will know what we mean if we say "the new site".  Not trying to be a stick in the mud, I'm just not in an unnessacerry hurry.

Actually, the idea about Raven's Acre came to me yesterday because I was listening to Carl Orff's "Carmina Burana" (It was the last day of Carnival, after all)........and I had just gotten to the section titled "Uf dem Ager"....meaning "On the Field"........and since "Acre" is a cognate for "Ager"; well, there you go.  One could also go with "Raven's Field", I guess.
 
But since Green Acres was near Hooterville, and Raven's Acre (?) would be near Hooterville (okay, okay.....different spelling and pronunciation), your connection makes a bit of sense, Devin.
 
All of a sudden, I AM SCARED!

Ravenswood?  Raven's Acre?

Or maybe Ravensforest?  Or perhaps Raven's Grove?  I think that's kind of classy (BTW - a grove does not have to be fruit trees, it's generally a small wood without underbrush).  Then we'd have "the stones" and "the grove"...

My ha'penny's worth.
