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 (TToT) bloghop. Each week the invitation is extended to bloggers and other writers to create and link a list of the ten things that push to the Free Associate line when the word ‘Gratitude’ is announced. Limited only by one’s imagination, it is a good thing to do with words and such.
So, come on down!
For the Doctrine, our TToT list (down through the Summers):
1) Phyllis
2) Una
3) the Wakefield Doctrine
4) the Six Sentence Story bloghop
5) the days are getting longer (while that might not shovel the snow, it do make it less oppressive)
6) lets try this: a vid clip from 2013 which we’re grateful we uploaded the following video proving there is a time when the temperature rises above 32°
7) just looked at the whole post…clearly we’re grateful for living near an ocean
8) something, something
9) damn! new frozen water this morning! Grateful for the song prompt!
10) Secret Rule 1.3 (from the Book of Secret Rules, aka the Secret Book of Rules)

I know the frozen water is not always, let’s say, beloved, but remember any day without having to turn on A/C really is a good day at least for that.
ah days of sweating… can’t wait! heat over cold, any day
Wonderful post showing three states of water. I like water vapour in the air … makes our environment cooler.
thank you, cai
Excellently bundled 10. The 32°, as I’m a Celsius-ish type person, I was thinking ‘well, that’s like a heatwave,’ and then I remembered ‘you’re a Fahrenheit-ish type person, which means if you hang your laundry out on the line — it’s properly frozen stiff now. Anyway, this comment is going nowhere, so I wish you an excellent week.
way too cold for any measurement system (not counting William Thomson’s* system)
fun with google… being a clark I can’t resist
Lord Kelvin. Aye …being a Scott, I devour this stuff.
fun
