So It's Official...the Farm Sign is Up!

Some would say it was official when we had the closing 2 years ago...but we horse people know it gets real when you name the place, and turns official when the sign goes up.
I knew the name the first time I saw the place from the road, before DH even knew it existed, before we had even really agreed that we were ready to buy a place of our own. Anyone that has spent any significant time with my boy understands that he was certain a similar sign hung everywhere he has ever lived...heck, probably every place he has ever visited....even if no human could see it.
And the coolest part to me....the silhouette really is him...and better yet, taken from a photo of his first ride back in a show ring after his first, and most severe, bout with EPM.
(It may be hard to tell, but yes, that is an apostrophe, not another bolt)
