    Hi Jeff!
    Finally..some stuff from the countryside, good for us who don`t live in big cities=)
    I wonder ..these horse shoes which bring luck..at my old summer farm there were horseshoes
    facing up, now we have them over the door the opposite way.. !! Could this be a tradition, I mean,
    horseshoes bringing luck..the European brought to your native Minnesota and other states?
    Funny to read about the clover, which I found of lot of, usually I gave them to my sisters=), and
    I also know about the rabbit`s foot, that is, here in Norway it`s the hare`s foot. Way back(that is when I was young), I used it myself, but then it was to clean the huge “bøle”(made of wood for
    storing flour during wintertime.
    As for the “male cow” ..thanks for that funny explanation;)
    AND..for your wonderful topics ..as always!
