Welcome to the Wakefield Doctrine (the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers)
This is the Doctrine’s weekly contribution to Lizzi R’s legacy bloghop, the Ten Things of Thankful (TToT). Created by our founderess in 1885. The less said, the better.
Anywho… we have a bloghop, of a genre oft-referred to as a gratitude blog (or Grat Blog) in which Readers and Writers are invited to share a list of Ten Things (or people, or places, or, of course, events) that have elicited the state of Gratitude or appreciation thereof such a condition.
For the Doctrine this week, our list:
1) Phyllis
2) Una
3) the Wakefield Doctrine
4) the non-snow-infested time of the year often referred to as Summer
5) completion of the first major landscaping project of the year;
Before
After
6) the Six Sentence Story bloghop
7) the utube for remaining a place to find most enjoyable channels for those moment between sweaty and sleeping (GP reference, if you please)… this week we stumbled across the channel: exurb1a. To check real quick if you’re checking this out would then be a Grat for your own list, here’s a link to a fun vid on the site:
8) our favorite prehistoric plant form (thistle)
9) something, something
10) Secret Rule 1.3

About clarkscottroger
That’s a beautiful completion to the landscaping project.
thank you, Frank
Frank is right, you put a lot of hard work into it.
Thistles are amazing. Bigger Girl grew one once, at an apartment where they were lax about mowing, she loved watching it go through all the stages and becoming a refuge for bees and butterflies.
It is interesting to see the diversity of green plants on your grounds……. the famed thistle.
5. Gorgeous. Makes me want to pitch a tent.
Una: you have her full attention. ❤️
Greetings from Denmark.
she was the perfect dog
Aloha!
1885? Oh… wow….
4) the non-snow-infested time of the year often referred to as Summer…
I laughed… and me too… am grateful for this weird time of the year…
and as Misky said: 5.
Gorgeous!
Have a great week!
as to the actual, technically-‘accurate’ date of the foundering of this here blaoghop here… it may be more of a range of years… between 1444 and …er recemtly(ish) but I will try to remember far enough into the coming week to include (as a grat) the earliest recorded Doctrine TToT post
great music selection this week… cream.. that takes me wayyyy back… thistle absolutely is a beautiful plant… questionable as to weed or flower… love phyllis always smiling… have a great ‘… doctrine week’
thank you… we only have the one thistle (in the side meadow) this year… several years ago they took over the entire yard… then disappeared interesting
