Green Things

Happy St.Patrick's Day...
I know it's not a Leprechaun...but it is...Green!
.
A green dragon...
.
that my daughter Annette made for
a summer reading program at the local library where she works.
There's a lamp shade...
a large trash can with wheels...for mobility
and other strange objects I can't remember...
.
under all that paper mache!
.
.
She's very talented in many different artistic ways!
She also keeps me supplied with library books!


This is us "Several" years ago flying a kite in the field!
.

Four leaf clovers are associated with March 17th...right?

Plus...they're green!
...or at least most are...


This little plastic box contains a few...
found over 25 years ago...they are not green!



For my birthday back in 1999...

Annette gave me a nature journal...



I jotted down notes about the different birds or
animals I saw and the timing of their return each year. .


I kept track of the greening of the field and
flowering of the trees and plants!

Little by little... it became the keeper of
4 leaf clovers the grandchildren...I...and others found.






Remember.....if we hadn't found...picked...and

and saved them...


this bunny would have eaten them!


Click to enlarge...there may be some there yet to find....


...in all that green....


...but I doubt it...




because my journal has 58 pages of 4 leaf clovers!






These are...




just...




a few...





Eventually...I had to start another journal...





As soon as it greens up and Spring fully arrives...





I'm sure more will be found...picked...and saved.



As you can easily see...Katie finds the most!

I'll end with another look at the...jolly green dragon...
