This Spring in quarantine, I found myself stuck inside a lot. I wanted to find something to do, and make myself busy, so I started to spend more time outside. I’ve always known our property has a lot of 4 leaf clovers, which was a mutation probably spread over time by bees and such. However, as these clovers started to thrive, I noticed just how MANY of these mutated clovers there where! As something to do, I started hunting them while I was outside. I’m not the world's best at preserving these things, (some of them turned copper!) but I found a LOT of them over just 2 weeks in March. 372! That’s also including 1 Seven leaf clover, 5 Six Leaf Clovers, and 16 Five leaf clovers. I’ve found that some spots adapted to this crazy gene more than others, and one area around a drainpipe had more mutated clovers than regular 3 leaf ones!

here are some pictures. I taped them all down in a notebook, they filled up quite a few pages!

It is an interesting, and unusual Hobby I thought I would share!

I had to edit this since I just realized it’s my 3rd entry, not 2nd like it said

Valid post #1

From my bio here and every other forum I'm become a member of there is one over arching detail that weaves them all together. I am a carbon based lifeform that has what I've come to call my DNA & RNA augmentation via nurture & nature simoltaniously and it's still helping me evolve and grow for the rest of this life and ... Likely beyond.

This picture is a modest blending of "tools" that are but, a few that are used in any given day, week & month. Year in and year out.

Hobbies are what come from the curious mind.
Astronomy, baking, carpentry, D&D, earthquakes, flight, gardening, hiking, interneting, jokes, knowledge, laughter, Muppet's, national parks, optics, painting, quagmire, rock-'n'-roll, skating, skiing & spelunking, traveling, unicycling, veggies, wonder, Xanadu, yearbooks, and zoology.

Well, that was actually easier to write this time.

Using these tools to build, repair and tweak all things with wheels.
Preparing and making all kinds of food as well as preparing and growing it as well.
Art and technical theatre and all forms of this art form as entertainment and education.

I look forward to discovering new hobbies in the future.
