Welcome to the Wakefield Doctrine (the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers)
This is the Wakefield Doctrine’s contribution/participation in the Ten Things of Thankful (TToT) bloghop.
(A) list of the people, places, things and events that have incited, instigated and otherwise inspired us to accept what is arguably a higher state of consciousness.
ya know?
As curator of the Wakefield Doctrine we submit the following people/animals, places, things and events(fictional and otherwise):
1) Phyllis
2) Una
3) the Wakefield Doctrine
4) the Six Sentence Story bloghop
5) that photo at the top of the post? the side meadow bowing to the change of (the) Seasons
6) the Hostinae and Hosts: hey! not only do they contribute insightful and engaging lists (of Thankfuls), they do so with total disregard for conformity to a set standard of presentation. It’s inconceivable! (lol) Examples (by no means exhaustive, but a sampling) from Andrew with his trips and vegetation-photation, to Misky’s beautifully crafted layouts to Frank’s curiously-poetic groupings of photos as a ten-spoke gratitude umbrella, and… cai well, like, damn! that’s how you ‘write as the spirit moves you’. And of course, KnitCat and Denise, Dyanne and Kristi, Lisa and our very own bean feasa, Mimi
7) Another visit from our friendly Lynx Rufus
8) something, something
9) ok, despite, (or as some wags might opine, because of) Grat #6 here’s a photo-time-travel-story(ish). We’re providing a set-up because it might be difficult to see the (current) gourde on the top railing and, for that matter, the new, growing one on the ground. Now that I’ve stepped all over my lead, the Photo. (oh yeah, the plot! last year Phyllis had some painting gourds on the railing (well, ’cause she’s from X-Chromia)… well it was left there and eventually fell to the ground… fast-forward to this week! kinda cool
10) Secret Rule 1.3
music

* got Joe Jackson in my head from the first vid…for the benefit of those who are not familiar with the previous song, here is one you will be (provided you are of a sufficiently hypo-youthful status (yeah, looking at you Andrew)

I especially like your often listed grat: “something, something”. There is, indeed, always something to be thankful for.
yeah, can’t remember when I started including that…surely after hitting Publish and then thinking of some additional Grats. lol
I spy … a door mat at the base of the staircase. What does it say?
The gourd looks interesting. I had my old pumpkin hidden under all those vines and leaves. Keep checking under the leaves for probable surprise fruit.
Thanks for the mention.
I wish you a good week ahead.
The (usual) ‘Welcome’ but also some paw prints (very much in to dogs here lol)
you are entirely welcome
you as well
Well, what do you know? A volunteer gourd!
lol cycle of life yo
I love that you share music which you first encountered as a young man but still love as an elder statesman…
funny how that (music) of a stage of life now so distant holds sway
My comment seems to have been accepted – yayyy!!!
Have a good week, Clark…
thanks Andrew you too
Autumn aye. Then Halloween. Then Christmas…. and love the colour of your front door.
thanks!
Fall …alas
I too like the something something and I just got the reason why from Frank. I never really thought about it that way… I just thought it was cool.
thanks… (to both of you)
