<div>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.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>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.</div>

<div>All of a sudden, I AM SCARED!<br><br></div>

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"...<br>
