Welcome to the Wakefield Doctrine (the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers)
1) Certain gratitudinal for Our Miz Rogers being ‘in loco geographicils’, staying in Kansas, (or Oklahoma or Wisconsin, one of the wide, flat, ocean-less States)
2) Glad to have an appreciation of, and a certain penchant, for the odd, hence our photo sequence above. That leads to Item 3
3) Grateful for our Family Hummingbird, not in small part because this hummingbird apparently loves his/her dead insects
4) Grateful for the photo series above and (it’s) implications for the ephemeral aspects of daily life, (which leads to Item 5)
5) glad for a new appreciation (in) the belief that, when you know there’s something in your life thats cool, even if you have no direct evidence to show to the others, (in your life), persist in believing and the evidence will become irrefutable (sorta)
6) Did I mention that the Doctrine is all kinds of taken with the power of perspective on: life, reality, relationships with others? Well let me do so here with a couple of photos of Una (from our Friday Night Walk:
‘Proof of Walk’
7) Three faces, one dog:
“You walk more slowly than my human drives this car!! Get out of the road. Now!
“what feral dog? I didn’t see a feral dog! You must be mistaken!”
“yeah, put these in your Post… they’ll love it!”
8) ‘Almira’ Chapter 9 (Backstory Chapter: Hammond Street Presbyterian in Lawrence Massachusetts, Sunday December 10, 1911 We become acquainted with Frederick Prendergast III and his wife, Constance (Myerson) Prendergast and their twin 5 year old sons (and Nanny, Grace Byrne), as they attend Services and listen to a Sermon given by Minister Allyn Montrose, on the Parable of the Talents. I think we’ll have a better insight into the social forces that not only directed the forces of capitalism (in the creation of the first planned manufacturing town), but gave body (and soul) to the passion that stands up to oppression. (You know, typical chapter in a Serial about the real story behind ‘The Wizard of Oz’))

Holy hell! I’m FRIST!?
Totally frististic!
Okay…went back and read, LOL. I’m thankful for the Doctrine! I probably won’t to a post until next week sometime. I am working on a special project. It’s not for work, but I will talk about it one week from tomorrow. Hehe.
And, AND…next Saturday I take the final field trip with our students and I will be done with the student-part of my job until September. If we have funding. We’ll see how that goes. :P
Hope you’re well!!
Excellent look forward to hearing about the Special Project!
certainly! We have a Family Hummingbird and a Chodsky Pes pretty much covers most things at this stage of the playlist! lol
Have an adventuresome (and healthy) long-weekend! Remember the world is filled with rabbit holes, if we but take the time to allow ourselfs to see them!
I love the 3-faced dog! Triple-cara http://www.36hourworkweek.com/2016/05/headstand.html
lol…. the way I take photos, I didn’t know what I had until I sat down to write the post.
I love hummingbirds although sometimes I get freaked when they buzz my head on the back deck… Im always thinking its a ginormous bee until I come to my senses… Una is always a plus, yes? I know Ive said this before… but link? You are relying on my memory to get over here…..
yeah, what the hell! last week I set up with the link code and it seemed to work in a limited way, this week, I linked to Considerings but did not show up over at your place!
Una doesn’t like pedestrians? Jack likes some, others must be watched carefully through the back window until they’re gone. I usually get a tail in the face..
lol…. the larger dogs tend to have one end or the other (at least in the confines of a car)
As long as Jack never repeats the one memorable time he stood in my lap to look out the driver side window – while I was driving. He does not make a good window.
lol
Una has a need for speed.
yes, yes she does…. sometimes we zoom along at 15 or 20 miles an hour (anything faster, I roll up the windows…not that she wants to, but at this time of year there are bugs in the air and, having had a motorcycle back in the day, I know first hand how much it can hurt at 35 mph to hit a ‘small’ bug)
Love starting off my week with Almira.
:-)
Love this week’s title for your TToT post btw.
thank you… working on Chapter 9 as I write this Reply (taking a well-deserved break)
I’ve always had a bit of a problem with “photos or it didn’t happen!”
Oh, Una. . .
as I mentioned below, when we’re out for a walk, I’ll take my phone and aim it in Una’s general direction and click whenever the spirit moves me did not ‘see’ the rabid dog episode, at least not directly.
*HUUUUUGE sighs* I love your #1, and I’m so sad it’s not true any more.
I do like your hummingbird though, and HOORAY if it gets rid of bugs for you :D
yeah… breakfast and dinner…. apparently their vision is quite good, the motion of my reaching for my phone is enough to spook her/him
Una is just so cool. Hummingbirds make me think of big bees. But they are fascinating.
yeah… I get that too. with giant stinger!
