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.

  • I want to share my experience because it might help someone else. I work as both a developer and a real estate agent. Like many others, I’d been saving my money carefully, and had built up around $203,000 worth of cryptocurrency in my Onchain account. For me, that was a significant sum, the result of years of hard work.
    I was advised to move my funds to Coinbase for greater flexibility. I double-checked everything, entered the correct wallet address, and initiated the transfer. But then, something went terribly wrong, my crypto never appeared in my Coinbase account. I checked again and again. The funds had vanished.
    Panic set in. I reached out to Coinbase support, but unfortunately, they told me there was nothing they could do. It felt like my entire savings had evaporated overnight. I was devastated and unsure of where to turn.
    Thankfully, a colleague introduced me to Morphohack, a professional crypto recovery team. At first, I was skeptical, after all, the internet is full of false promises when it comes to lost crypto. But Morphohack was different. Their team walked me through the entire process and began tracing the lost transaction.
    To my relief, within weeks, they were able to successfully recover my crypto. Without their expertise and determination, I would have lost everything.
    If you ever find yourself in a similar situation, don’t give up. Professional help is out there, and Morphohack proved that recovery is possibe and you can reach them via email ( Morphohack@cyberservices . com )

  • After losing $450,000 worth of Bitcoin to a scam, I felt completely defeated. I tried several recovery companies over the course of many months, but none delivered results—most only added to my frustration and hopelessness. Then I found Swift Assets Recovery, and everything changed. From the beginning, their team showed genuine professionalism, transparency, and a clear understanding of how crypto scams operate. Unlike the others, they didn’t make empty promises—they took action. They worked tirelessly, kept me informed at every stage, and, most importantly, they succeeded in recovering my stolen Bitcoin. I can’t express how grateful I am for their help. Swift Assets Recovery restored not only my funds but my peace of mind. If you’ve been scammed and feel like you’ve run out of options, don’t give up—Swift Assets Recovery truly delivers.
