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.

  • BITCOIN RECOVERY TESTIMONY: How I Got My Funds Back After a Major Crypto Theft.

    Earlier this year, I went through one of the most devastating experiences of my life— My digital Asset wallet was compromised in what cybersecurity experts refer to as a “Dark Skippy” attack. It was a highly advanced and stealthy breach that completely wiped out my crypto portfolio in total of $1,425,000.

    The sense of loss and helplessness was overwhelming. I had no idea how it happened so quickly and worse.

    I didn’t know if I’d ever see that money again. I spent weeks looking for solutions— contacting platforms, forums, and supposed “recovery agents,” most of whom turned out to be scams themselves.

    Then, I came across a company called TROJANHACK Cyber Security Company, and everything changed.

    They were professional, highly knowledgeable, and transparent from the very start. Using the latest in advanced hacking software and forensic tools.

    they were able to track the stolen funds across several wallets and trace the movement of my crypto with impressive accuracy. Their team not only located the stolen assets but also successfully recovered every last bit of it.

    More than just recovering my funds, they went a step further by helping me secure everything through advanced wallet protection strategies. They even provided me with basic cybersecurity training, so I now know how to better protect myself from future attacks.

    Thanks to TROJANHACK, what started out as a financial disaster turned into a full recovery. I’m beyond grateful, and the least I can do is recommend them to anyone out there going through the same nightmare.

    If you’ve lost crypto due to hacking or scams, don’t lose hope. I’ve been there and I got it all back. You can reach them via email:

    Trojanhack@qualityservice.com

  • Recovering from a Cryptocurrency Scam: My Personal Experience

    As a single mother seeking to improve my family’s financial situation, I was approached by a company called BTCM Company on Facebook, promoting a Bitcoin investment opportunity with promises of high returns. The offer appeared legitimate, and after being persuaded by their representatives, I invested $330,000, believing it would secure a better future for my children.

    However, after two months, I discovered that I couldn’t withdraw any of my funds. It was then that I realized I had fallen victim to a sophisticated and well-organized scam. Desperate to recover my money, I reached out to several so-called “experts” and “hackers,” but they turned out to be scammers as well.

    Just when I had lost all hope, I came across Icon Assets Recovery through a local community recommendation. Their team was professional, trustworthy, and worked tirelessly to recover my funds within just a week.

    I am incredibly grateful for their prompt and effective assistance. If you’ve fallen victim to online scams, I highly recommend Icon Assets Recovery. Their expertise and integrity set them apart in an industry overwhelmed by fraud.
