8.24.2011	Three leaf clover. The patches of clover in the yard are still thick and green in late August 2011 due to regular rain and mild temperatures. I take a walk to check on the trees we planted a few months ago; sneezing to the rhythm of lawn mowers and the scent of freshly cut grass. I inspect the fine green tips of the branches, noting any growth, and imagine the taste of Honeycrisp apples.
