Lucky in Love(less)


If four-leaf clovers are as rare as the textbooks say – 1 in every 10,000 clovers – then Woah Nelly! Loveless is one big environmental genetic mutation.

Chris seems to spy four-leafers on the Loveless hillside the way I find sharks’ teeth at the beach. He has brought me multiple bouquets of the lucky Trifolium repens this year, the first we’ve seen them. Just last weekend, as we enjoyed a wildly warm fall day among the yellowing maples, he bent over a patch of tall grass and muttered proudly, “Yep, here’s another one.”

Not sure what it all means, other than this once-abused plot of land continues to churn up mysteries. Or could it be that Loveless is bringin' us the love now?
