A few months ago when my husband's ex-colleague's family came for soba-lunch, they also brought their two children (elementary kids). After forced to hear adult's talk for a while, they went outside of our house and started gathering clovers. My husband whimsically said, "Couldn't you find four leaf one; if you could, I'll be rewarding you with a little allowance."
The other day, we had a call from thier mother telling us that they made pressed flower (押し花, oshibana) out of clover and they even found five leaf one. He said, "promise with kids must be always kept!". He went their house happily to get them. I found this page telling us it is extra-lucky v(^_^)v My husband said he has an idea to keep it (maybe framing it with something), but keeping it secret to me how he'll do it p;) They have another one for themselves, which relieved me. Haha, I thought we shouldn't have a monopoly on the extra luck.
here are some pictures of them; one 5 leaf and many 4 leaf
I DO wish I can share some luck for my dear friends from this post♡♡♡
i have found four and five leaf clovers in our yard a few years ago. i love them! these are in really great shape! those kids did a great job! :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a grand find, my dear friend! It is lovely, and clovers of any kind always cheer me. I hope you have a wonderful day!
ReplyDeleteDearest Miyako,
ReplyDeleteThat is so very special and even more so because little children found them!
Hugs,
Mariette

ReplyDeleteThey were, I am sure, very happy!
ReplyDeleteWow five-leaf clover! How special!
ReplyDeleteI remember looking for four-leaf clover when I was small :-) How nice of your husband's ex-colleague's family to make oshibana! It's a great idea to frame it!
I hope the special clovers bring you lots of luck :-)
Oh, I love this post, Miyako. When I was a little girl, we used to spend hours looking for four leaf clovers. Was able to find a few, but never have I seen a 5 leaf clover! How special that your young friends shared these with you.
ReplyDeleteThose kids were great hunters. I've never found a five-leaf one, but a few fours (not recently though, so thank you for sharing your luck!)...
ReplyDeleteOne of my grandmothers seemed to be able to find a four-leaf every time she went outside.
Dearest Miyako san!
ReplyDeleteIt was lovely to see five-leaf clover. How nice of your husband ex-colleague's family to make Oshibana Its great idea it!
