If you are observant of growing seasons at all, you've noticed that some years are especially favorable to some plants and flowers over others. Whatever the weather condition might turn out to be, some years favor certain plants.
This year, the clover is flourishing! After mentioning this to a friend, he reminded me that his wife was the EXPERT, second to NONE, four leaf clover picker-outer. She could spot them a mile away (maybe not quite that far). She'd look at a patch, reach down, and pluck a perfect four-leafer. It reminded me that I used to be pretty good myself.
But what had I done for clover lately? Answer: nothing! I hadn't been looking! So, now I'm trying to make a conscious effort to look for the lucky four when I go by a patch. After all, it's a good year for clover.
And tics.
