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 and my husband have been married for 22 years and for quite a long time now we have been living as strangers due to some marital issues and his inability to stand out to make things right. Unknown to me, there was some other lady in the picture who has been so daring and doing everything possible to ruin my marriage so she can fully take my place. i sought for help within my reach and nothing worked so i had to contact Dr Isikolo who inturn was so helpful and showed me how swift he tends to resolve marital issues for couples. He revealed to me all that happened between my husband and the said and he did everything possible with his powers and got them separated. My husband is fully back home to me and our girls and it gladdens my heart so much. Dr Isikolo is trustworthy enough to deliver whenever you call on him for his help to fix your problems. webpage: https://isikolo-temple.com or text him via WhatsApp on +2348133261196

  • Hello, I want to share my testimony with all of you. I have daily 9 to 5 jobs but while I work, I try my luck at playing instant Lotto. On this particular day, I decided to seek help online regarding tips for winning the lottery and I saw many individuals testifying about Meduza spells. I reached out to him and informed him that I needed help to win the lottery and he clarified the process to me stating that after he casts the spell, it will take 48 hours for him to provide me the winning numbers which I accepted. I followed all his instructions and he provided me with the numbers to enter the Lottery. After the draw the following morning I received a notification on the Lottery app on my phone indicating that I was the lucky winner of $273 million on the New Jersey Lottery and I’m here to extend my heartfelt gratitude to Meduza. If you seek for help in any aspect of your life, Whats – App +1 807 798-3042 or Email: lordmeduzatemple@hotmail.com or visit: lordmeduzaspelltemple.com
