This is a re-post in honor of St. Patrick's Day. I hope you all are having a blessed day.
Clover has been bewitching me lately.
Clover has been bewitching me lately.
I am not original so I know that it's the stuff I've seen on Pinterest.
Lately I have been seeing it on items I already own.
I found it on vintage postcards,
and on brown transferware.
I remembered my mother's pressed 4 leaf clover and dug it out.
The oxalis in the yard. (I know it is not clover, but it looks like it.)
I found it on this Gothic looking table.

The clover (Trifolium) also trefoil (three leaves) has been valued for centuries.
The Shamrock was made popular by St. Patrick.
I didn't know this until a few years ago but the three leaves stand for the Holy Trinity. It's good luck to find a four leaf clover and I've actually found two in my lifetime. Once when I was picking up the kids at their elementary school.

I picked it but don't remember what I did with it.
I don't know that I have had a massive amount of good luck since then, but I know that I am abundantly blessed. :)
The Druids and other cultures valued clover as much as the Irish.

It was abundant food for cattle.
The expression, "In the clover" refers to abundance and prosperity.
I guess it was readily available to cows.

I've noticed it quite often on vintage postcards and had wondered about the sentiment of sending pictures of clover. Now I know.
I wish I could send you all an image of clover and you would gain abundance and prosperity.
How sweet that those early in the last century sent images of clover.

I am sure it was a delight to receive a charming postcard, for paper was more expensive then.
As I leave you or "leaf" you as I accidentally typed,
I hope you are feeling blessed on this St. Patrick's Day.
Know that I am blessed you stopped by.
