Four-leafed Clovers

Word of the day:  doch-an-dorris\dahkh-un-DOR-is\ noun:  Scottish & Irish : a parting drink : stirrup cup.

According to legend, on a four-leaf clover, each leaf stands for something. One leaf symbolizes hope, one is for faith, another for love, and the fourth is, of course, for luck.   It is estimated the probability of finding a four-leafed clover  is approximately 1/10,000.

I recall as a kid, my mom and  I picking four-leafed clovers.  We would never let the cows into our clover fields.  Cows love clover so much that they would founder on it and die.
