In Clover!

\"clover

I\’m in clover! Or I was yesterday, at any rate. Yes, I found a four-leaf clover!

Otherwise, I\’m not in clover. Nowhere near it. I\’m not poor, but I\’m definitely not well-off!

If I were truly rich, would I ride the same old bicycle year after year? My road bike is over seven and a half years old; and I got the hybrid a year or more earlier.

If money were no object, I don\’t think I\’d use a pair of cycling shoes for a year or more; and I\’m sure I wouldn\’t go about in sneakers that have holes worn in the uppers!

Like Tevye, I sometimes wistfully think of how it would be if I were rich. But I wouldn\’t have a huge house, let alone one with a tin roof. I bet that would make indoor climate control a huge headache!

I\’d want a house on the small side; but it would be great to have a big pantry, where I could store the big hauls of canned goods that I keep bringing home from the salvage store. I\’d love to have a kitchen with more counter space!

A room just for setting up my trainer would be nice. Maybe I would even get up the courage to try rollers! The catch with having a larger place to live is this: it\’s too easy to fill up that space with more and more stuff! Then I feel as crowded as ever.

As to a yard, I think I\’ll skip the poultry. I\’d rather be able to grow some of my own veggies! And learn home canning/freezing.

If I were rich!
