Oh, what a wonderful memory of hunting for, and sometimes even finding, four leaf clovers. Even the grass stained cutoffs bring back lazy summer afternoons! Congratulations on your win Milt!

Thanks, Andrea. I thought it would do better, too, but in this "contest market" I am happy with the placement. Thanks for the compliment.

Thanks for your comment, Daniel. I really appreciated your visit and your read. I wrote a long list of summertime observances in 5 and 7 syllables, so I may be producing haikus through September! Have a wonderful week.
