Pumpkin pines farm

My wonderful husband and I have been hunting for months (7 to be exact) for a lovely piece of land somewhere in the Ohio River Valley on which to plant our dreams and our family. Steve thinks we can not develope the name of our home till we evaluate the land and how our cottage sits on it. But I am impulsive and desperate to be started on this journey. So I have grasped onto the name of Pumpkin Pines farm. Pumpkin Pine is the name of White pine boards that were commonly used in New England farmhouses for the floorboards. But I like the name because we would like to raise pines for Christmas trees (for our own use and perhaps to sell) and I simply adore pumpkins. My husband says I do amazing things with pumpkins. I use them year round from fresh, frozen and canned. But these are the inspirations for my Imaginary name. I can not wait till we can start on it all.

Pumpkin Pine Cottage??
Sounds nice.
