My Lucky Day?

I used to pride myself on being able to spot things - as a kid I'd often find quarters, dimes and pennies on the sidewalk - Mum used to say that I walked with my head down too much. If there was a 4-leaf clover in a patch of 3-leaf clovers, I'd find it. It's nice to know that 'talent' hasn't totally left me.

Today as I was leaving Sara's house, walking through the back yard, I looked down at a patch of clover and immediately spotted not one, not two, but three 4-leaf clovers.

There are two of the little beauties in this picture.



The first one I spotted...


Then Charlie came out to find some too....I believe these two are the ones in the first picture.



She picked them and took them in to press in a heavy book.

Now I think I'll go out and buy a lottery ticket.

that's so cool! in elementary school my friends and I would often spend recess searching for those, and I can only remember ever finding one. And then I crushed it in my hand while writing a test in the next period.

Did you buy a lottery ticket?

Remember in Oromocto, there was one patch in our back yard where we could find, 5-leaf, 6-leaf, and even one 7-leaf clover? I haven't looked for a lucky clover in years - Randy won't let anything but grass grow in our yard!

I have a talent for finding dead animal remains. The kids love it. Me -- not so much...

Here's hoping that after you win the lotto, you will continue to blog from some tropical paradise!
