The Smell of Clover



    Happy Canada Day!
    Yesterday was sunny and warm so we drove out to Jervis Road to have a walk.  When we got out of the car, we were engulfed with a sweet fragrance.  We were puzzled at first, not knowing where it was coming from, but as we walked down the road, it finally dawned on us that it was probably the red clover.   
    I plucked a red clover flower from the side of the road to confirm our suspicions, and sure enough, it gave me the same sweet smell that had stimulated my olfactory glands when we got out of the car.  Although clover didn’t visually dominate the fields, and I guess the plants that were there were really putting out.
