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.

  • You should learn how the most prevalent kinds of cryptocurrency scams operate, how to recognize them, and what to do if you fall victim to one if you are considering investing in cryptocurrency or currently own digital assets. Giveaways, new romance scams, phishing, extortion emails, false company notifications, blackmail, “rug pulls,” and maybe fake mining programs or networks are all examples of scams. Poorly written white papers, overzealous marketing campaigns, and get-rich-quick boasts are all indicators of cryptocurrency scams. To avoid getting scammed, there are a few things you can do. Refuse to provide your private bitcoin keys when asked. No one requires those keys for a valid bitcoin transaction, and they govern your wallet and cryptocurrency access. Finally, avoid working with investment managers who approach you and claim to be able to grow your money rapidly. The ideal people to get in touch with if you think you may have fallen victim to a scam is Wizard James Recovery.

Unlike the others, they didn’t make empty promises—they took action. They worked tirelessly, kept me informed at every stage, and, most importantly, there was no upfront payment; they succeeded in recovering my stolen Bitcoin. I am truly grateful for their help. Infinite Digital Recovery restored not only my funds but my peace of mind. Reach out to them to start your recovery process
