In between the pages of a rather heavy old book, A Treasury of Masterpieces by Charles Dickens no less, my young boy has gently tucked two tiny treasures he found recently on a rambling walk around our neighbourhood.
My boy's treasure!
Crouching down at every opportunity, he carefully examined clumps of bee-friendly clover hoping to find one with four leaves just like the lucky ones he had read about. You can imagine his excitement and joy upon finding these! Carefully counting and counting again (to double check) he has proudly proclaimed these as four-leaf clovers and himself as lucky.
It was a lovely way to spend a beautiful, warm Autumn morning with my boy. Among swathes of clover with a blue sky above, a happy dog for company, the odd bee or two (probably wondering what on Earth we were doing) and all the time in the world to spend with each other. Magical ... indeed!

The joys of a simple ramble for no other reason than spending time together. Thanks for the reminder.
ReplyDeleteYou are welcome! Hope you get to go for a ramble with your boy soon too. Meg:)
DeleteI hope he makes the most of his good luck, how wonderful for him.
ReplyDeleteHe was very pleased with his lucky finds. I think he'd consider ice-cream and staying up past bedtime to fall into the realm of lucky:)
DeleteWow, I have never found one of those. Hope they bring him luck ;)
ReplyDeleteIt has certainly brought us quite a good chuckle!
