Welcome to the Wakefield Doctrine (the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers)
This is the Wakefield Doctrine’s weekly contribution to the Ten Things of Thankful (TToT) bloghop. Created in a third floor walk-up in the White Chapel district in East London 145 years ago during the Great Blizzard of 1881. Lizzi R. drew scant attention to the founding of this gratitude bloghop initially, in part due, in part, to a certain Mr. Leather Apron. But that story is for the Autumn and encroaching darkness.
This is a list of the people. places, things and events that have elicited and otherwise incited a psycho-emotional state commonly referred to as gratitude.
1) Phyllis
a chodsky pes during a lay-over in Frankfurt, Germany (Una flying to her home-to-be with us)
2) Una
3) the Wakefield Doctrine
4) the Six Sentence Story bloghop
5) crossing our fingers, (anticipatory grat…always a risk lol)
6) moderation in temperatures… frozen waters? gone for now
7) increasing daylight hours (go a long way towards denaturing the grip of Winter ya know?)
8) something, something
9) shout out to Host, Andrew for letting me know that, for reasons not yet ascertained, he has been unable to leave a comment here at the Doctrine.
10) Secret Rule 1.3

The surprise might be another new friend?
What a cute baby Una!
We’ve had so little snow this year, but we do need the moisture, so I’m hoping the snow will come sooner rather than later. There’s something just wrong about snow in May, for example.
I agree… at least snow in April or May is, at best, regarded as a frivolous lashing out of Winter lol
More light is always welcome. As for the snow, or lack, I hope for the exact amount of precipitation needed for the climate, whatever it happens to be.
cannot argue with that
Just to say another very chilly year in the UK – called the Big Freeze of 1963!
the question is (for me) I remember larger snow fall as a kid, is that a meteorological phenom or merely the fact that we all were closer to the ground?
lol
Hope the weather is kind to you and yours. Nice list this week.
ty… cold but that’s why god invented woodstoves (and central heat)… one for the body, the other the soul
