Of course I never find things when I'm actually looking for them

I spent the day doing Spring Cleaning in the garage/attic/yard. When the in-law's brought the boys home, I saw Andy and Calvin looking at a patch of clover. Andy has a 3-leaf clover and is discussing 4-leaf clover to him. After I inquire about what they're doing, I start to walk away, but stop. I look down...just for the hell of it...and...what's up with that bunch of clover there? I found a 4-leaf clover as quick as that. My very first one. I remember many afternoons and evenings killed while I patrolled the townhouse village grounds looking for 4-leaf clover, preying mantis, and other natural wonders of the suburban habitat.

I gave it to Calvin. JD helped him place it in some thick books to press it. Papa recommended that Calvin find a safe spot for it. I recommended that he put it in the sleeve for The Breakfast Club soundtrack. Andy should have caught that one but didn't.

I think I'm clover-handicapped or something. Others have found 4-leaf while the group of us were hunting but I'm getting to experience the discovery later in life than I would have hoped. :)

ya 4-leaf clover hunting is actually a huge part of my childhood. i remember being so content spending hours searching for them. hahah apparently i was a cinch to raise because i was always 'easily entertained'...
