Welcome to the Wakefield Doctrine (the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers)
This is the Wakefield Doctrine’s contribution to the Ten Things of Thankful bloghop. The goal, (for participants), is to compile a list of ten people, places and things that have elicited the state of gratitude. It, (the list), can be historical, contemporaneous or, (don’t tell anyone), essentially fictional.
(Warning to New Participants: thinking that simply making up a list will insulate you from any emotional blowback on ‘making up a grat list’? Way riskier than you might imagine. So, go ahead, keep it simple, just type-down the stuff that made you think, ‘Whew! Glad that did/didn’t happen!” If it’s your first visit to the TToT and you start to falter and despair of completing your contribution, lets us know. We keep a pack of breeze-dried Grats just for the purpose of helping a new Participant.’
Our list, for this week at the crumbling precipice of Summer, is:
1) Una. A very young chodsky pes. Taken in her home country, the Czech Republic, before her impressive, Air-Miles intensive trip to here.
2) Phyllis (somewhere to the West Northwest of Una, a buncha miles.)
3) the Wakefield Doctrine
4) something, something
5) the Six Sentence Story bloghop Six Pic of the Week: ‘And the Finalists Are…‘ by Anne McSommers
6) the Unicorn Challenge bloghop. Ya gotta read this one!: ‘Time Passing‘ by jenne
7) Current summer project: Figure out if it’s worth renting a combine for the front and side meadowland.
8) Fern Circles: Kinda hard to see in the photo. Every Summer there appears a depression in the middle of this patch of ferns. About this time, (in July) it appears and grows. The individual ferns are not broken or otherwise destroyed, just bent flat to the ground. And the eponymous cool thing is: a) it grows larger by the week and 2) takes on a spiral pattern. Hopefully we’ll find a way to get more meaningful photation going forward as the process continues.
9) new home office (the computer on the left) A much shorter trip to the office now.
10) Secret Rule 1.3

Thank you, Kind Sir.
(PS Una is gorgeous, what a far-seeing, kind face.
My pleasure
A most excellent TToT for music selection alone.
Having said that, the question of a combine. Heck, yeah! Who else do you know can say, “why yes, the combine worked beautifully on the front and side meadowland.” And, of course we would expect a YouTube vid of it 😁
Congrats on the shorter commute.
As always, thank you for Item 5.
P.S. Good to know about the “breeze-dried grats”.
Thankee
Nice list and music – thank you.
Fern circles, a new one on me.
they’re the darnedest thing! it looks like this year’s circle will be normal, future pictures should be better
Love the description of Phyllis in the photo of Una.
