Find a Four Leaf Clover Day– Celebrated on August 2
Today just might be your lucky day. It is World Find a Four Leaf Clover Day on this day, your sole objective is to find a four leaf clover. According to Irish folklore, four leaf clovers will bring you good luck. We all could use a little good luck. Your search is a daunting one. It is estimated that only 1 in 10,000 clover leaves are four-leaved. However, it’s the beginning of August and life slows down at this time of the year. The days are long and the Weather is nice. There’s not a lot of other things on your calendar this month. Spending an extended amount of time sprawled out on your lawn with a magnifying glass, is the perfect way to enjoy the Summer weather.
So, the search is on. One of the great things about this search, is that everybody can get lucky. Everyone can participate, too. All it takes is for each of us to find our own four leaf clover. There is no sharing. You must find your own Four Leaf Clover all for yourself. You can’t hire someone else to find a four leaf clover for you. You need to find the four leaf clover yourself. Otherwise, the magic of the four leaf clover will not occur.
Participation in this day is easy and, it’s fun. Head outside and search for a four leaf clover. Clovers can be found almost anywhere. Your backyard is a great place to start. If you don’t find a four leaf clover in your yard, parks, schoolyards and fields are also good places to search. You might even find a four leaf clover growing in the cracks of the sidewalk. You can conduct your search by yourself, or with family. Or, you can hold a “Find a Four Leaf Clover” party. Invite a group of friends. Offer snacks and beverages. Offer a prize to anyone who finds a four leaf clover.
Clover plants make great indoor houseplants and they grow well in partial shade and do not require a lot of attention.
