So a couple years ago when Thing 1 was bored during summer break, part of a conversation came upon the word "rare". Daddy gave an example of the 4-leaf clover.
Ooh, idea! Send bored little girl out to hunt for the rare 4-leaf clover in our yard! That will keep her busy for a while!
We snickered & thought Daddy was so clever for thinking of this... Until 5 minutes later Thing 1 came back into the house with a 4-leaf clover!!!
"What?! I've never even seen one in person in MY whole life!" (said both Mommy & Daddy)
A few days later, Thing 2 found her first 4-leaf clover.
Thus began the discovery that, for at least one summer, our clover patches were prone to that special 'mutation' called the 4-leaf clover.
Eventually Daddy & I even found 1 each. The kids were much better at finding them.
So this is a picture of our pressed collection of clovers, surrounding the word that started it all, "Rare".
P.S. We have given a couple away as gifts to special friends, so this is 'almost' the entire collection. ;)
