Welcome to the Wakefield Doctrine (the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers)
That white edging along the far shore? The Rime of the Ancient Mariner
The is the Wakefield Doctrine’s weekly contribution to the Ten Things of Thankful (TToT) bloghop. Created despite resistance from both the House of Lords and a formal lettre of protest from the Exchequer Secretary to the Treasury, the TToT has survived recession, inflation, manic-depression and ennui. All, of the aforementioned eco-psycho-philosophical states, endemic to the blogosphere over the years since we arrived on the scene in June, 1909. (or thereabouts).
1) Una
2) Phyllis
3) the Wakefield Doctrine
4) the End of Winter!* this past week, now all that’s left to do is leave yourself a note to move your clocks ahead one hour (in just 77 days)
5) the Six Sentence Story bloghop
6) the (current) lack of frozen water piled up on the ground and such, not to jinx anyone
7) technology and stuff. Little did we realize, growing up, that there would be a day when we could create and save motion pictures courtesy of our telephones!
8) something, something
9) * New Readers? The thing of it is, for some of us, a big part of what makes the Summer such an excellent season is the amount of sunlight (for those of us here in upper-right Oceania). While we abhor the cold, it is the darkness that makes us wish for warmer times. And so, with the 21st (Thursday), the days are getting longer. Slowly, barely perceptibly, but each day holds a little more light than the day before.
(See?! The Doctrine isn’t as weird as some people might suggest.)
10) Secret Rule 1.3

About clarkscottroger
John and I went to a movie last night (Godzilla Minus One–not my typical choice, but well-done) and one of the local ads playing beforehand said, “Summer will be over before you know it” and I immediately thought of your perspective of time passage. LOL Happy whatever season it is, and Merry Christmas!
And to you (and John (and Drexel))
I wish you and Ms.Phyllis a blessed and beautiful Merry Christmas, and scritches to Una.
thankee, Miz Mimi
That is a wonderful picture of Una, glad winter is over. :)
Merry Christmas – especially ‘A Day in the Life’ (on vinyl – I can still hear it right to the end!)
most excellent time of music
Happy Holidays!!
Same back to you and them!
