6 Leafed Clover!

Saw this while I was walking Guy yesterday.  It stuck out like a sore thumb.  I thought it was 2 clover stems twisted together but as I got closer I realized it was one mutant clover.  It was the first time I saw more than 4 leaves on a single stem.  Very cool.


There are 4 main leaves and 2 smaller leaf-lets that stick straight out of the middle.  It just happened to be next to where Guy did his business.

Double Rainbow All The Way!

Well, not exactly double rainbows, but I found two 4-leaf clovers.  No... I didn't go into hysteria I was just REALLY HAPPY!  Funny how such a small thing can make your day brighter.  I'm not a superstitious person... but we could really use the luck right now.  Do you hear that universe?!


To be honest finding this clover was a cheat.  I was looking for it and it was near where I found my last 4-leaf clover.  I picked this one and left the other one for someone else to find.


It's a beautiful fall day in Seattle.  The weather is just how I like it, cool and overcast.  These are my favorite row of trees by my house.  I'd love to walk through a whole forest of them or just lay among them and look up.


My beater shoes with fall leaves.  I bought these about 5 or 6 years ago at Payless (El'Cheap-O store) and they've been the most comfortable pair of shoes ever!  I wear them almost everyday and they've outlasted 2 pairs of Camper shoes. 


A summery of the day's walk... 4-leaf clover, fall leaves and a black walnut that fell next to me from a giant tree.

4 Leaf Clover

I found this today while walking with Guy.  I spotted it right away, he was far taller than all the other leaves.  This is my 3rd time finding a 4 leaf clover.  The first time was back in high school.  While running to class and I swooped down to pluck a lawn daisy.  I missed and ended up with a handful of grass, twigs and a tiny 4 leaf clover.  Totally by accident!  The second time was last year while walking Guy... maybe it's his luck?  We were doing our usual round at the Ballard Commons Park and near the edges of one of the pathways I found three 4 leaf clovers.  I picked 2 and left one for someone else to find :)  I pressed them, but I don't know where they are now. 

I guess it's not that hard to find a 4 leaf clover, check out this tutorial on Instructables.  I sometimes look for them, but the times I've found them I wasn't looking.  It's an amusing activity, ranks right up there with looking for Jesus rocks on the beach (rocks with crosses on them).

I didn't take this picture.  I just wanted to illustrate what the rocks look like.

Must be a good omen... maybe Art Chicago will go well.  I'm packing tonight and I'll be in Chicago tomorrow! Ma... Pa... I'm goin' to the Big City! :P
