Not a four leaf clover, but I'm charmed


We were both much younger in this photo, but it is one of my favorites. Mom did not like having her picture taken. 


 Happy heavenly birthday to my mom on her 91st birthday. When I was five, I sat in the grass with her one hot summer's eve, and she showed me how to make clover flower necklaces.

I just came outside to read, and found a single white clover flower with long stem on my patio chair. Maybe the wind blew it. Maybe a bird dropped it. Maybe Mom stopped by to say hello.

Yeah. That's what I believe. I can see her smiling face.

Oh, what a special story, and I do believe we get signs from our loved ones who have left this world. I would keep that four leaf clover and dry it out and maybe make something creative with it. That is wonderful that your Mom taught you to make clover flower necklaces. Did you find the four leaf clover on your Mom's birthday?

What lovely two ladies, two generations : mother and daughter!
The clover leaf symbolizes good omens. Finding it on your late Mom's birthday has great significance.She's watching over you, protecting you and your family.

Good omens of faith, hope, love, and luck - that's the symbolism of the four-leaf clover. Your mom's "gift" means she's got your back!

That is definitely no coincidence! It doesn't matter HOW the clover flower got there. Messages can be delivered in a variety of ways. You know I'm a believer.

I mentioned making clover necklaces to someone who was probably in their 30s, and they had no clue.

No clue about what they had missed out on.

Yep, your mom was sendinging you a message.

I think it's amazing that your Mama came to visit, Linda. We never know when our loved ones from the other side are thinking of us! That was very, very sweet. Thanks for all your visits to Writing Straight from the Heart and for your comments, too. All are so appreciated. Susan

There are no coincidences.
