Welcome to the Wakefield Doctrine (the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers)
This is the Doctrine’s contribution to the Ten Things of Thankful (TToT) bloghop. This, being a grat blog ‘with a difference’, makes valid pretty much any citation (of gratitude) i.e. Lat v. creacioun (see grat #8 below). Fifty years after the dream of a bloghop open to all of content intent became an idea, we have a bloghop that is the envy of the blogosphere.
So, read and enjoy. If you are new to this ‘hop, feel free to write, post and link up your own TToT.

4) yard project next: Let there be Light! (lol) (sorry, no R. Frost… it’ll be downy soft before we know it) ok, brief explanation. the photo here shows the view from the cottage. there is a pond in those woods. the canopy (of pines and trees and such) is quite dense. so…
5) new project coming soon! (hint: rhymes with cut the front lawn once the summer bee-food is depleted)
BEFORE (well, actually, ‘Now’ which, depending on frame of reference, ultimately could be a valid before. ya know?)
6) the Unicorn Challenge bloghop
7) something, something
8) the near-endless resource of information manifested in the internet. case-in-point the word ‘creacioun‘
9) the Six Sentence Story bloghop
10) Secret Rule 1.3

#8: absolutely, yeah for etymology, and the incalculable amount of fantastic obsolete words in Old English — it is a treasure trove (for those interested in such things).
#4: lovely trees.
Hope you have a lovely week.
Quite valid for us.
The Oxford Dictionary of the English Language used to have a page where you could adopt an old word and promise to use it and bring it back from near extinction.
I always enjoy your list and your photos.
A new yard project is gonna be fun! Can’t wait to see! Also, it’s always fun to see Phyllis. Hi, Phyllis! 👋 And lastly, I am always thankful for the Doctrine. I’ve had a slew of busy weekends, but I can’t wait to call in: I have a friend that I’m pretty sure is a Roger, cuz he sure a’int a clark and he’s not a Scott. Process of elimination. 😂 But an interesting study in Doctrine specifics.
