The name
gos-sa-mer Pronunciation: Gos"sa*mer Etymology: Middle English gossomer, from gos goose + somer summer Definition: A film of cobwebs floating in air in calm clear weather |
A while back we lived on Gossamer Farm, which we named for all the baby barn spiders we saw floating on filmy cobwebs called gossamer. We liked the name and so decided to use it for our new business as well.
