2) Una
3) the Wakefield Doctrine
4) completion of tree project
5) return of the driveway corn see Grat 9 for original driveway corn from 2-18 We suspect that Mother Nature (in her endearingly absent-minded way) had the seeds of the plants from 2018 get stuck in the ground for a few years and then eventually get washed down the driveway to come to rest where we are witnessing the miracle of life (as in ‘it’s a miracle we didn’t starve waiting for Mz Nature to provide for us’)
6) the Six Sentence Story bloghop
7) modern techology… ’cause, imagine if we had to draw the various photos that grace our TToT post!?!?! [ed, ayiiee ! Q. what’s worse than a blogger without artistic ability trying to draw? A a blogger who, despite being quite aware of their limitation but for god knows what reason has such un-earned confidence in their online persona that they’ll post it anyway! (lol) Below is Grats #1 & 2]
8) something, something
9) original driveway corn from 2018
10) Secret Rule 1.3

Hooray for more corn! Even if it’s not expected. As for the drawing, we all have our places, right? Mine isn’t in front of an artist easel, either.
lol thank you for the support… fortunately it is not one of those talents that I have ever, for some reason, found myself coveting when exhibited by others
#5. Hip-Hip-Yippy for self-seeding when it produces food.
#7. Well that explains that — I’ve never had to nerve to ask: so Una is the dog.
Have a brilliant week, Clark.

kinda
the dog in the photo (and my most-excellent drawing) is of Una who passed away in October 2023 Mia is our current dog who is a Siberian Husky (barely slows down enough for photos) because… like the old saying reminds us, ‘You can’t be old and have a Husky in the household’
#7–bravo for keeping it real! You’re among friends here, so you should be confident!
The return of the driveway corn–how fun!
yeah the corn was a total surprise
Full Disclosure: probably won’t supply edible product but the fact that it travelled the 100 feet or so of driveway over the course of years and insisted on seeing the sunlight… gotta respect
There can be potential in the beginnings of doodles. Many people start by drawing from photos; the outlines.
