"I do believe in an everyday sort of magic...the inexplicable connectedness we sometimes experience with places, people, works of art and the like; the eerie appropriateness of moments of synchronicity; the whispered voice, the hidden presence, when we think we're alone." Charles de Lint

Lucky Day!

It's our lucky day! The boys are coming for dinner tonight for an early Father's Day celebration (we will be away this weekend). So it's a good day to celebrate the lucky clover that I've been adding to my front yard. 

Every time I need to patch the grass...I add a little bit of clover to the grass seed. Clover is good for lawns....it needs less water and actually puts nitrogen back into the soil instead of taking it away. If you want more information...read this post:

Grown up clover after the rain.

Baby clover settling into its new home.


A little goes a long way....but I wouldn't mind if the whole lawn was clover.


Here's a backed out view. Tomorrow is mowing day....so the clover is extra long and lush today. You can see my foxtail fern is outside again...and don't you love the antique metal rolling laundry basket with the begonions. It's something Patty passed on to me..and I love it. The begonias are planted one of those moss liners...and it works like a charm. Ha Ha...lucky charm!!! JOY!

  2. My father always said clover sweetens the lawn and I always loved seeing their little flowers. And, bonus! Bees love clover!
