Recent Adventures in good fortune and luck...

So, I know that it is good luck to find a 4-leaf clover...but what does it mean when you find SEVEN in your back yard?  AND....

 one of them is a FIVE leaf clover!

 
 It means that this is a land of good luck and fortune....  It's lovely to be here.

We go for walks down to the pond almost every day...regardless of the fact that we pretty much pick ticks off of us all afterwards...  here's Oliver crossing a log:
Oliver has made it his new hobby to pee outside any chance he has.  Our only rule is that it not be the front yard.  Here he is "watering" the pond. 
 Here's his "pond monster" impression:
 Just a gorgeous little man...   Love that face...
 Naturally, we caught a frog in the yard yesterday....he was a suicidal frog.  He would jump out of your hands no matter how high or onto what surface...
 But he survived!  He hopped off happily into the wisteria bush when we let him go... and by "let him go" I mean Oliver threw him in saying that it was a flying frog...
 Oliver and his frog buddy before he took flight...


 Our home...  The tree to the left is a magnolia.  She is magnificent and has been outside my window since I was a little girl.  I used to go out at night and sit underneath her when the moon was full.  The tree has a beautiful energy.  Or should I say, treeS, there are actually 2.  The magnolia sisters, as I like to call them. 
 Soccer in the front yard:
 Oskar running down the drive way...you can't really tell, but we cut his hair today.  He looks older...
 This picture DOES NOT do the colors justice.  The wisteria is in full bloom and there are purple flowers everywhere!  And the smell is amazing.

Susan, sooo JEALOUS of the house, the yard, the house, the yard, no neighbors, the house, the staircase in the house, the whisteria, (I do have one on my porch) and the MAGNOLIA and the house, but not the spiders or the ticks. (your not coming back)
