What's in our name?

I rarely take time to explain the name of our farm. Some call us "Tri Lea", "Tri Gable", and "The Farm". There are other names for some of the homes on our street. There's "Thistle Rock", "Newski Knole", "Centennial Farm", "Sound View Farm" to name the ones I can recall. We wanted a name for ours as well, and we thought about it for years. 

Then all at once it came together. I was reading a book, "The Story of English in 100 Words" One of the oldest was lea. 

Lea

noun

1. a tract of open ground, especially grassland; meadow.
2. land used for a few years for pasture or for growing hay, then plowedover and replaced by another crop.
3. a crop of hay on tillable land 

adjective

4. untilled; fallow.
Almost every part of this definition fits our property. Part of it was an open meadow/hayfield, years before, cow had pastured in the field, then it sat fallow until we started to till and work the land. Another root meaning for "lea" was that the land was cleared by it's owner. This too fit; I took a summer vacation to clear the land the house sits on. It was on the edge of the field and was a wooded & brambled lot that I transformed into a clearing for our home. Some of you know of my accident in clearing the lot. 
Lea was the word we were waiting for to tie it all together. 

Tri Gable

Well this part of the name can be the easies to see. As you approach the property, you'll see our home with two standard gables and a cross gable in the front. We fell in love with Gothic Revival architecture of the late 1880's. I dream of the day when I add the gingerbread molding to the gable ends of the house as a way of creating a Neo Gothic Revival home. 

You'll also see the Tri Gable architecture repeated in miniature with our chicken coop, and in our workshop. 
So there you go. Now you know where Tri Gable Lea Farm came from. Here's how it's defined in my head: A Neo Gothic Revival homestead at the edge of a clearing that was cleared by settlers before us, kept open by cows on pasture and hay crops, lay fallow for decades, and the clearing expanded by the next generation. 
I've included an excerpt from the book here, and I encourage you to read the book too. You can find it on amazon in the link above.

  • HOW I RECOVERED MY LOST CRYPTOCURRENCY.
    I was introduced to a fraudulent crypto investment scheme around early November 2024. The platform promised easy profits by exploiting price differences in cryptocurrencies across exchanges. They had an app and what seemed like guaranteed strategies, even using ‘AI’ to make trades. I started with $2,000, lured by the daily updates showing how my balance was growing. Everything seemed fine at first, consistent, modest gains. I watched as my account hit $21,700 in just a few weeks which subsequently led me to invest more funds into this platform. But when I tried to withdraw my funds, the problems started. First, there was a withdrawal fee, which I didn’t think much of at the time. But then they requested another fee for exchange commissions, followed by a tax settlement fee. Each time I thought I was one step closer to accessing my money, a new obstacle appeared. I ended up paying nearly $20,000 in fees without ever seeing a cent of my profits. The company eventually went silent on me, and I was left reeling from the loss. I felt ashamed for falling for it, but also furious at how sophisticated the scam had been. After months of research, I found Asore Hack Corporation, a team that specializes in recovering lost digital assets. Thanks to their expert work, they were able to access and recover my funds including all earnings from my portfolio into my bank accounts without trace of any form, and they gave me back a sense of hope in an otherwise hopeless situation. If you’re going through something similar, don’t hesitate to contact Asore Hack Corp. Their team is available to assist you via email, using the address below:

  • Hello, Please everyone should be careful and stop being deceived by all these brokers and account managers, they scammed me over $265,000 of my investment capital, and they kept on requesting extra funds before a withdrawal request can be accepted and processed, in the end, I lost all my money. All efforts to reach out to their customer support desk had declined, and I found it very hard to move on. God so kind I followed a broadcast that teaches how scammed victims can recover their funds, I contacted a recovery company known as SPYHOST CYBER SECURITY COMPANY . They are such a very good company as they are so reliable, transparent, skilled and responsive. I contacted them and I got feedback after some hours as I was asked to provide all legal details concerning my investment, I did exactly what they instructed me to do without delay, to my greatest surprise I was able to recover 80% of my money back. I said I will not hold this to myself but share it with the public so that all scammed victims can get their funds back. Anyways, just incase you are going through such plight, do not hesitate to reach them via;
