Welcome to the Wakefield Doctrine (the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers)
This is our weekly installment in the Ten Things of Thankful (TToT). A ‘grat bloghop’, but with a creative twist. This quality being integral to the character that the founderess, Lizzi, instilled in the creation of this weekly exercise. Not a surprise, she being one of those genuinely creative people*.
At the current time our host is Dyanne. (Aided by co-hostinae, Lisa and Pat and Mimi)
So, on with the list of the people, places and things that instill, inspire, incite and otherwise make a body experience gratitude.
1) Phyllis —-⇓
2) Una ————————————————————————————⇑
3) The current weather, which for the last two days, has been fairly excellent. (Am a fan of the more enhanced temperatures of the summer months. My answer to the perennial weather/temperature/comfort question is, pretty much, always, “No.”)
4) Flora Refuge (aka Triffid Grove) Selective mowing, with a nod to mobile lifeforms, manifested as pathways to observe the chlorophyll abattoir that is our side yard.
5) the Six Sentence Story bloghop
6) serial writing, stories to unfold pretty much of their own accord, specifically: the Whitechapel Interlude and the Case of the Missing Fig Leaf
7) work (and the 20 Minute Real Estate Briefings which is on ‘the youtube’. everyone seems to enjoy the commercials as much as the actual Briefings) But to enjoy the Proof of Concept for the Wakefield Doctrine as a tool to self-improve one self, check the 20 Minute page at the Facebook.
8) In Number 7 above, there is a very helpful illustration of a clark and a scott (per our favorite personality theory).
9) something, something
10) Secret Rule 1.3 (at this stage of the game, we trust this Rule (or it’s source) need not be explained any further?)
* that would be a reference to one of three personality types of the Wakefield Doctrine. Rules of Etiquette governing said Doctrine allow only the individual to designate one’s predominant worldview. (Of course, it is quite permissible to discuss one’s likely type, but only in direct conversation. One simply doesn’t go around making statements about another’s personal reality
music

What a great music selection! It could easily be your summer theme song. Glad the weather has brought on the heat for you to enjoy.
Your Flora Refuge is coming right along.🙂
Have a good week, Clark.
Thanks, Pat. (Fortunate for us the house design is such that (most of) the living space is on the second floor allowing a vantage point over the Flora Refuge.) From the street it’s like, ‘Jeez don’t they believe in mowing their lawn?’ lol
Great summer list and music selection.
It is definitely hot enough.
Thank you
Your Flora Refuge selective mowing reminds me of a story Sweetie told about his father. Before the man became a Christian (and a church pastor), he would drink when he was mowing the lawn, with, shall we say, interesting results.
lol
I do tend to get a little clarklike with yard maintenance… tried something different with the backyard, which is simply, normal open grass yard, for Una, ya know. In any event, I let it get extra long and then set the wheels differently on each side. The left front and rear as low as possible, the right much higher. Goinging for a wave effect… didn’t photograph so well, will try again in a couple of weeks
