Thalia
A few of you might know this name... it was my Grandma's pen name.  The name Thalia was the name my Grandma signed her artwork and her poetry.  I can recall looking at some of her drawings and thinking WHO IS THALIA?  I asked my Grandma one day why she signed her artwork and her poetry by that name?  She said in a very excited smiling voice, "That was my name in another life- I just know it".  WELLLLL if you know my Grandma and how kinda crazy she was that was not a surprising omission.  When she said she had been abducted by aliens.....sigh... that is a blog story for another day.  Anyway back to the name Thalia.  Thalia was her creative side her artsy side.  Thalia was not a person really, it was creative energy for her and when my Grandma THELMA felt creative she was Thalia.  If you would like to hear more about my Grandma there is a recent blog entry Story of Grandma
Ok so back to why I am blogging about the name.  Recently I had the bad news of finding out that the name I was going to use for the farm was inaccurate.  The 7 streams was not correct.  There are 3 streams that cross the road 7 times--- the name was not going to work.  For months I have been working on the name of the farm and apiary.  I could not find ANYTHING that fits.    I was at my Mom's house in Florida unloading my truck a few weeks ago-- whining that nothing seemed to fit when in that very breathe I looked at my Mom and said  "Thalia".  My Grandma always dreamed of living my dream but her dream of building a home and having a farm never ever came to fruition.  She never gave up wanting to plant fruit trees and building her own home on her land.  I thought I feel so blessed and thrilled, amazed to be living her dream.  I have my own slice of heaven in Warm Springs GA.    Tonight as I started to organize my thoughts about announcing the name of my farm I thought I wonder what Thalia means?  I looked it up and this is what it said***************
