clover

The sight of red clover bouncing its happy little heads along the roadside is something that will always bring a smile to my face. It is like a promise of good times to come. Spring is here when they line the streets. I love them, and wonder how many people don’t seem them or if they do see them only see weeds. Every time I notice something little and mostly unseen like red clover or trees who’s silhouettes look like dragons in the dusk I am always grateful for my artist eye that sees such things.
When I see the clover along highway 17 A on the way into town makes recall the town in Michigan that had planted flowers along the road for the whole town. It was beautiful and it made the town seem proud. For reasons I am not sure of, it seems important for me to record my love of red clover.
