Welcome to the Wakefield Doctrine (the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers)
‘you talkin’ to me?’ (see Grat #7)
This is the Wakefield Doctrine’s contribution to the Ten Things of Thankful (TToT) bloghop. Foundered by Lizzie R in 1887, this bloghop has consistently topped the lists of ‘Ideas That Need To Have The World Catch-Up’. But the concept was the key. (Remind us to tell you the story of the very, very beginning of this bloghop and how the required time to create and post a TToT list was drastically altered.)
Below are a list of Ten people, places, Things and events that have triggered a grat attack since last we posted.
1) Phyllis
2) Una
3) the Wakefield Doctrine
4) the Six Sentence Story blohop
5) follow-up photo on last week’s landscape project (an After-after)
6) speaking of landscapes and pine forests, we’re grateful for a woods that goes from ‘oh, how nice a garden‘ to ‘damn, hate to have run through this some night being chased by one of Nature’s scotts!
7) the photo at the top of this post is of a cow at Farmer Brown’s (not this Farmer’s ‘real’ name) We used to take Una for drives past the farm for her amusement.
8) something, something
9) Update on the frontlawn Meadow
ikr? a bit greener (which if put in the context of the last week or two of mid-March weather), I’d say that’s pretty darn encouraging
10) the Book of Secret Rules (aka the Secret Book of Rules) specifically, Secret Rule 1.3

I especially liked #8. It is good to be thankful for “something”.
this is true… (and serves as an example of how free the TToT is of strict rules. the only requirement is to be of good intent)
Nice meadow, nice woods, have a blessed week.
you as well
How lovely… Nice green stuff!

I can smell the pines from that photo alone. I grew up in the middle of pine forest and this photo makes me thankful for your photos.
the thing I enjoy the most (about this environment) is the wind. there seems to be more directionality of winds, breezes and gusts. you can hear it approach, sometimes it turns and you can know that it would be hitting the trees where you are
fun
#7 made me laugh and the photo of the pine forest sparked a film-flicker of memories. Have a good week, c.
She (Una) would have her head out the car window as we approached (about 4mph) and wait until we were right up next to them before barking.*
*but, in her defence, when we’d go for our Friday Night ‘walks’… she’d do the same thing to a bicyclist (wait until we passed them before a single bark)
we’d both laugh as we drove off
