Welcome to the Wakefield Doctrine (the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers)
This is the Wakefield Doctrine’s weekly contribution/participation in/effort-to-acquire-a-higher-level-appreciation-of-reality (to) the Ten Things of Thankful (TToT) bloghop, Now approaching it’s 98th Anniversary. Those planning on gifts, that’s the Bismuth year. In any event, here we are at the end of another week. As our Founderess was said to comment, “You don’t have to have an emotional rapprochement with your historical self. Just sit down and start typety-typing! Now, tut-tut-cheerio! best start those Grat Lists”
For the Wakefield Doctrine we offer the following list of people, places and things that have elicited, caused, inspired and otherwise tricked us in being grateful:
1) Phyllis
2) Una
3) the Wakefield Doctrine
4) the Six Sentence Story bloghop
5) semi-interesting, minor-scale landscaping project tying down the bridge! photo to follow!
6) hypo-grat Time to bring in our no-frills rain gauge. Freezing temperatures this week passed. Glass not strong enough.
7) how quick would that apocryphal brown fox actually be? (Film at #8)
8) Here ya go
9) something, something
10) Secret Rule 1.3

About clarkscottroger
Woah! Vocal Für Elise! Oh wait, let me address the fox issue first. Darned foxes come at night, upend my herbs and flowers making room to dump their bowels into my compost. So I set branches from my rose bushes over the pots, thinking that they’d think of going elsewhere rather than to pricked by thorns — but not an ounce of it — I have them on camera, grabbing the branches in their mouth and carrying them into the middle of lawn … and then emptying themselves into my pots. I reckon to them, a pot is a pot is a pot. Anyway …
Woah! Vocal Für Elise!
funny about songs and music, sometimes they just insist… in this case, it was form watching ‘The Gentlemen’ (big Guy Ritchie fan) and there was, like, 13 seconds of music… went online no luck, no mention as part of the song track… finally found it!
whew! sometimes these search for missing songs can go on for way too long
I often spend more time trying to find a soundtrack than time spent writing! The writing bit comes fast usually: draft; tweak; publish.
funny thing… the process is variable sometimes (like the most recent Café Six) when there can be only one song. sometimes, no music
but the interesting thing is when music alters the story, or, at least the trajectory or more likely emotional tone
We’ve not seen foxes so close where we live, but we do get coyotes so who knows what could happen.
I’m glad the bridge project is progressing nicely.
thanks… unfortunately, (or not) the water level of the pond is still, like, a foot low… November is a rainy month. Normally. But then, who can say what’s normal
Interesting wildlife. I only get to see birds, rats and a squirrel. Farther away, there are wild fowl and monkeys.
we got those, except the monkeys, of course
