Going outside on St Paddy's day and connecting with God's flora and fauna...

This past St. Paddy's day we went on a family trip to Macon GA. While at the hotel my son saw on the morning news program that if you were to look for a 4 leaf clover in a 9 square foot patch of clover statistically you should find one.  Of course the first thing he said to me was, "Mom, we gotta go outside!"  Clearly these are some of my favorite words.  Although we did not find a large patch of clover we found lots of small patches and after only looking for half an hour (a lot of that was finding birds, rocks, centipedes, lizards, etc.) we found a 5 leaf clover!  What are the odds?

That trip was particularly nice as after a quick search of things to do we visited the Museum of Arts and Science which although small was wonderful!  My son loved the mini zoo and had a chance to hold a hissing cockroach.  They offered to gift him one as a pet; I declined.
