Welcome to the Wakefield Doctrine (the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers)
This is the Ten Things of Thankful bloghop(TToT). Founded in 1986 by Lizzi, the TToT is reputed to be among the longest-running grat blogs in the ‘sphere. “Way to go, L!”
For our part, we’re tolerated by Dyanne (hostinae) and Lisa and Pat and Mimi an them, what with our Secret Rules, hypo-sensible descriptions of the people, places and things that inspire, surprise, trick, inveigle and otherwise push us into the empty classroom that has ‘Gratitude 101’ written in yellow chalk on a black blackboard.
So, here ya go!
1) Phyllis walking from the cottage past (a) regrowth of the ferns (to her immediate right) and a crop of zombie Triffids lurking in the middle of the yard. (If you’ve never encountered these Flora-That-Time-Forgot, they’re from the Mesozoic Era (aka ‘No frickin way a plant evolves needle-sharp antlers to survive, unless they’re native to Planet Nightmare‘)
2) Una (who is watching from the picture window, displaying more sense than her two humans)
3) the Wakefield Doctrine
4) the Six Sentence Story bloghop
5) excellent vid chat with Nick and Denise (stay tuned!)
6) Phyllis’ cottage complete(ish)
7) serial (no, not cereal, serial) stories and how they always have one more thing they want the writer to tell the Reader
8) something, something
9) Friend of the Doctrine Cynthia (we all had a nice chat last night on the Saturday Night Drive)
10) SR 1.3 (from the Book of Secret Rules, aka the Secret Book of Rules)

Phyllis’ cottage looks absolutely amazing!
From what I can see, the woodwork of the ceiling is a beauty. I wonder if the shapes carry on to the exterior shape of the roof (if they do a photo would be most appreciated!)
Paradiso in woods, Clark! Bravo!!
Will loo for a photo. The rear roof has a ‘shed dormer’ with a window and the front has an arch (my vocab of architectural terms is failing me) will find a pitcha and use it this week.
Very fairy-tale like.
Thank you.
Is the cottage an evolution of the treehouse, or is this another structure? Either way, so cool!
(Don’t forget to link up your post!)
A standalone structure. P has decided to continue to remote work and the cottage (with power, heat/cooling) is more enjoyable than the dining room table.
I tried to link earlier through yours but did not see the link option…will try again with a different browser
Cottage envy! lol
It really is wonderful.
I love it! The interior looks great! Can’t wait to see it irl.
Always appreciate the shout out for the Six! Yay!
Psst…Clark. Next vid chat not in the wee hours of a Saturday morn.
It is always a pleasure when Cynthia calls into the Saturday Night Drive! And the Progenitor roger!
The cottage is so cool! Are you allowed to go in, or is it a she-shed?
For quick visits. (But she promised not to call the cops if I get all George McFly from a nearby tree)
