The Red Clover Keep

Seth and I sat down with the list of suggested names this morning and took turns circling ones we liked and crossing off those we didn't. When it came down to it, we found ourselves torn between "The Red Keep" and "Clover Crossing". Seth liked the first one the best, but I found the inclusion of clover to be something that really called to me... I hadn't included it on the list of relevant/inspirational words, yet totally should have, since our garden is lousy with it!

We decided early on, before even breaking ground, that we had no desire to plant a traditional lawn and after some research, decided to plant micro-clover instead. It turned out quite well and makes the yard look lush and wild (in the places it took, anyway. We have more work to do this spring and summer).

So, I'm considering Alix the grand prize winner, since I used his entire name idea, and just threw in an extra word. I'm also giving a second place price to jocox, since she was the only person who suggested the word clover! I'll be emailing the both of you before the weekend is through!
