i'm looking over a four-leaf clover
Actually, I'm looking over a little round globe of water that is filled with 22 four leaf clovers!! I managed to get them back from the Berkshires where we were visiting with Joe's parents for the weekend.
His mom has a knack for finding them...I've never seen anything like it. She can usually pick up one or two from the yard or from up at the garden, and I've pressed them before and brought them home. Yesterday, on the way out to go see Edith Wharton's Mount, we stopped up at the garden (which is about 1/2 mile from the house--they take part in a community garden which gives them more room than the garden at home) where they were weeding and picking cucumbers and beans. Rosie found me a four-leaf clover right away (after she showed us where the woodchuck has been living under the garden shed). I placed it in my poetry notebook and we headed off to see if we might catch a glimpse of Edith, who is reportedly still haunting her old manse.
When we came back that afternoon, with a strawberry-rhubarb pie in hand (I had decided it was too hot to cook the cobbler I was thinking about), I discovered that Rosie picked me an entire bouquet of four-leaf clovers--it's amazing. I have only found one in my lifetime--and it took me three hours of lying in a clover bed when I was about 12. She just looks down and they seem to jump into her hands.
A little extra luck never hurt anyone, right? And 22 four-leaf clovers?! I'm bound for good things, I think.

Let's hope it's not radiation poisoning. ;)

isn't he pleasant?
I think it's a good sign for you :) 'specially with the miasma of unpleasantness you've had to deal with of late.
