Welcome to the Wakefield Doctrine (the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers)
This is the Wakefield Doctrine’s weakly contribution to the Ten Things of Thankful (TToT) bloghop.
Each week a number of exceptionally skilled and talented bloggers gather here and link in a list (or interpretive rhetoric or any format their individual creative impulses may demand) on the topic of gratitude. Not as simple and/or simplistic as it may sound. After all, ‘gratitude’ is one of the more elusive frames-of-mind available to any of us. And, not for nothin’, way beneficial.
The following is a list of the things that have elicited a state/awareness-of this state of gratitude for us
1) Phyllis
2) Una
3) the Wakefield Doctrine
4) the Hostinae (and Andrew): Mimi, cai, Misky, Denise, Kristi, Dyanne, Lisa, Knitcat and Andrew they provide that one quality that all successful bloghops must possess, community.
5) the Six Sentence Story bloghop
6) our late-March, early-April weather was interrupted by a couple of days of ‘oh, so this is what a late-May nice day felt like...to our parents‘. lol
7) front meadow update (yes, new addition with the sunflowers see Grat #9 below)
8) something, something
9) oh, yeah… new sunflowers (a lotta pressure on them Helianthus annuus least round in these parts) err the round, yellow things to the left of the sidewalk
10) Secret Rule 1.3 from the Book of Secret Rules aka Secret Book of Rules. specifically, the approaching completion of one’s list of Grats is, in point of fact, a legitimate item for said list.

Have a great ten things of thankful Saturday and thank you for the link.
Thanks!
You’re welcome.
I hope those sunflowers do well.
yeah me too I didn’t have much luck growing them from see a few years ago. Our soil is mostly clay over sand and gravel. These Phyllis bought. There were multiple plants in the pot. I buried them together. Did remove the pot, of course.
How nice to have the green, green grass of home … with sunflowers to welcome you home.
The sign-in was automatic; should be https://artmater.com.
Yes.
We both enjoy letting the front and side lawns grow wild, rather than a grass lawn, (which we have in the backyard for the dog)… crossing our fingers on the sunflowers (can’t see it in the photos but we’re surrounded by tall pine trees which make direct sunlight difficult. Planted them where I did as it has the most sunlight during the day*
*as opposed to ‘during the night??!’ lol read my own sentence and had to comment
Sunflowers, meadow and a cute doggy
Am also thankful for the thankfuls of others, makes you smile while reading.
Thank you.
ikr?
Lovely, and green everywhere. Number 10 has me grinning. A grin is always something to be thankful for.
Who doesn’t* enjoy the Book of Secret Rules (aka the Secret Book of Rules)
SR 3.2 (subsection 9.2) “…any Rule is considered viable, [p]rovided the author cites (said) Rule with compelling sincerity [or] lacking that (op.cit. WD 444.0) barges ahead with enough footnotes to make up for any lack of actual standing” ibid BoSR/SBoR 2009-2034
As always, Clark, you season your post with two great music tracks…
Hey! Andrew!
they let you in! (to comment here which has been problematic until now)
enjoyed both songs in very different ways… the bouncy ’80s and the ‘no, don’t worry, we’re Europeans’ sorta way
