JULY 29, 2004 – THEME: FOUND<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"20040729found\"<\/p>\n

IT IS A little known fact that I have an eye for finding four-leaf clovers. In fact, just this month, I have found ten of them!
\nWhile the photo above is not the best, the theme is kind of cool. I found this particular clover on July 26. I parked my car, walked around to the passenger side to get my things out. I looked down at a patch of clovers and there it was. It’s interesting that this one appears to have survived a recent lawn mowing. You can see the four leaves more distinctly in this photo:<\/p>\n

After dinner on July 26, I went outside to search for more four-leaf clovers with my daughters. After a short time, I found this one:<\/p>\n

My daughter, Maddy, said, “Daddy, I don’t like it when you find four-leaf clovers! It makes me mad because I never find them and you do!”<\/p>\n

“Well, Madeline, you just need to be patient and keep looking. You’ll find one.”<\/p>\n

Ten minutes later I looked down and saw another four-leaf. As I bent towards it I spotted another one right next to it. I said, “Maddy, look at that! Two of them together!” She bent down to look while I got my camera ready. Then she yelled, “Daddy! Daddy! Another one!” There were three of them together. And Madeline found one of them, her first one.<\/p>\n

\"20040729foundThree\"<\/p>\n

We found a total of five four-leaf clovers that day. The most I ever found in one day before was three. All in all, I have twenty four-leaf clovers that I’ve saved. There have been others that have gotten lost or destroyed over the years. My daughter, Hannah, who found her first four-leaf a few years ago, asked me if she could have them all when I die. She said she is going to open a four-leaf clover museum and put them all on display. “Good luck with that, Hannah!”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
