Kids in the country
Moving kids to the country. If you’re considering moving outside the city – even beyond the suburbs – with your family, no doubt you’ve wondered what kind of impact it will have on your children. Certainly the first concern is how they will leave the friends and activities they’re used to and adapt to a whole new community and all it does – or doesn’t – offer in comparison.
Generally speaking, the younger the child, the easier the transition. Children under eight years of age may barely remember things from their former digs once a few years have gone by in the new location. Needless to say the transition can be more difficult the older the children are. There are windows of opportunity, however, as they graduate from grade school to middle school, middle school to high school as many of their friends may migrate to different schools all together at that point. And as they move into larger school communities and mature in their own right, it’s likely their group of friends will change anyway.
Moving to the Colorado countryside is a dream many adults have, and with good reason. The crime rate is lower, the pace is slower and the surrounds bring about a peace that is hard to come by in the constant stimulation of city life. But it is a big move if you have a family. Here’s what to expect – depending, of course on your exact location – if you take the plunge
Education – First of all, don’t assume that just because you’ve traded a large school district for a smaller one that you’ve doomed your child’s future. Check out greatschools.net to see how the country school you’re considering stacks up against the school your child already attends.
Activities – Most of your child’s activities will be school-based, though your choices will be more limited. Don’t expect anything franchised – such as Little Gym or Gymboree – unless you’re willing to travel a bit to attend. A 4H club offers excellent, affordable learning opportunities for children beyond livestock including aerospace, forestry and even theater arts. And living closer to nature affords more chances for spontaneous hiking, fishing, biking, kite-flying, nature walks and even geocaching.
Faith – In a small town, there will most likely be at least one faith-based youth group for your child to attend as well as a Sunday school class. However, depending on your faith tradition, you may have to travel to attend a synagogue, mosque or Christian denomination other than those represented in your town.
Safety – While there are fewer overall safety concerns in the country don’t be fooled. There are still dangers including meth labs and a greater instance of chewing tobacco use. And without multiplexes and malls, restless teens might find their own dangerous diversions. As with any locale, parents need to be diligent in overseeing just what their kids are up to.
All in all, the country is a great place to raise a child. What it lacks in cultural opportunities, it makes up for in the confidence a child learns growing up surrounded by friendly, encouraging faces. And, when you need a bit of big city culture, there’s always the family vacation.
Crowds gather at local arena for SEMO 4H Rodeo

“I loved the grand entry,” Lowry said. “I was proud to carry the flag during the National Anthem. The 4H Rodeo is fun [and] barrel racing is my favorite event.”
Lowry said one of her favorite things about the rodeo is being able to meet people from the other involved counties.
“Having the rodeo in Dunklin County is a lot of work,” Lowry said, “but all the counties take turns doing the work at their county’s rodeo. Helping our parents at the rodeo is fun too.”

4H Rodeo will feature 300 participants
Thursday, June 18, 2009
George Anderson
Rodeo events include Barrel Racing, Calf Riding, Team Roping, Pole Bending, Goat Tying, Calf Roping, Steer Riding, Team Penning, Chute Dogging, and Bull Riding.
Members of the Dunklin County 4H competing in the contest include Tripp Scales in Steer Riding, Break Away Roping, Poles, and Barrel; Dalton Jackson in Calf Riding, Barrels and Poles, and Goat Tying; Cheyenne Long in Break Away Roping, Poles, Barrels, and Goat Tying; Tatum Lowry in Goat Tying, Pole Bending, and Barrel Racing; Joe Mobley in Pole Bending and Barrel Racing; Max Mobley in Team Penning, Goat Tying, Barrel Racing, and Pole Bending; Rachel Leslie Pole Bending and Barrel Racing; Britlyn Pikey in Goat Tying, Pole Bending, and Barrel Racing; Pierce Watkins in Bull Riding; James Michael Goodwin in Bull Riding; Scott Jackson in Bull Riding; and Sam McHaney in Pole Bending and Barrel Racing.
According to Adult Volunteer Leader, Will Mobley, this is the fourth year Dunklin County has had a club, and this is the second year they have hosted a rodeo.
“The thing that is a little bit interesting is seeing the kids grow up and then grow in their horsemanship,” Mobley said.
“You see the kids growing up and learning about the horses. They start out with a plug and then they graduate to something better and then they get interested in being competitive and trying to win.
“The mothers in the program do most of the leadership,” Mobley continued. “They are pretty strict about the kids being good to their horses and being empathetic. The mothers also all work together. If one kid is doing something inappropriate, its like he has six moms out here.”
Mobley said that any child wishing to be involved with the program can sign up at any time, however, they will not be allowed to compete until the insurance enrollment, which is held in February of each year.
Admission to the event is $6 for adults and $4 for youth between the ages of seven and 12, children six and under may attend free of charge. Concession stands will be available throughout the event.
The SEMO 4H Rodeo is sponsored this year by the Kennett Area United Way and University of Missouri Extension.
4 leaf clover feedbacks
- Image by mccheek via Flickr
i have found over 200 four-leaf clovers in my neighborhood in one summer.
My experience is that four leaf clovers are more common where the plant is stressed. For instance, along a walk o blacktop path, i will find more up close to the edge than back farther.
And in our back yard the most prolific spot is an east-facing slope where the clever is warmed by the morning sun.
I don’t know if red clover four leaves are rarer, but it is fun to find a much bigger specimen than a white clover.
My experience is that if you find one, you are apt to find two–if not then, then later when new leaves have budded.
I found a 4-leaf clover in this park which had a ton of clover patches. I found it about 20 minutes in and I ended up standing on it.
If I can find just one,I’ll just tape it(to prevent rotting) to a card and make a bookmark! I’m gonna make my friends jealous =]. I really hope I can find a few during the holidays. Happy Hunting. I’m going yo try and find one in the lawn near my flat’s void deck. =]
A few months ago just walked beside of our garage, I found one four-leaf clover, I think that’s luck for me because most of the time when i buy scratch lottery tickets i win something. then one month after, i won $35,000 in a summer promo lottery. -anon256
I found nine today as i walked through the park.
i have over 1000 four and five leaf clovers. no lie.
i found 20 4-leaf and three 5-leaf and i’m only 12 and all in one patch in our yard! within 3 days!
I have just found my first four leaf clover, in my garden while playing with my pet dog. i’m landed! might lose my job soon because of the recession, and my wife’s car is on it’s way out, so i hope it does bring us some luck!
I have been finding 4 leaf clovers my whole life. Growing up, my parents’ fridge was covered in them, some I pressed, some I stuck to cards. I have found over 3000 in my life all over the world in random places, never looked for them. We have been living in our new house over three months, and I have found 37 since being here, including 2 today while weeding!
Has anyone heard of four leaf clovers being *bad* luck, or at least, as an omen of something bad that’s going to happen soon? I’ve always found four (5,6,7 as well) with ease. But, as I got older, I realized that if I found a lot of 4+ leaf clovers at once, something bad usually happened to me afterwards. Or, maybe they protect me from something even worse? I don’t know but after a couple of really bad personal events, I now avert my eyes around any clover patches!
Iv’e been finding 4,5,6,7,8 leaf clover since I was a child. I survived pancreatic cancer, a pulmonary embolism, staph infection, and just recently got hired on with the state of oregon and was hired on friday the 13th, but I should add that I found a horseshoe too while hiking on the mountain. yes they are lucky. trust me. happy hunting!
Finding a four leaf clover is a lot like fishing. It’s a combination of luck and skill — both have to be working to be most fruitful.
Four leaf clover is closest to a universal good luck charm. It is documented throughout many different cultures and religions.
Isn’t it fun to find and pick them? My friends can’t believe how often I am walking – anywhere – and spy them. Baseball games, at the park, or just out on a brisk walk. I’ve found several six-leafs, several five-leafs (including two this week), and hundreds upon hundreds of four-leafs. At any given time in the summer, I have a dish of them on my kitchen table. If I find them in my own yard, I tie curling ribbon around them so others can pick them. How much “luck” can one gal need anyway? The most I picked in one day this summer was 15, but I picked 9 the day before that. I’ve never found a 7 or a 9 leaf. What does thte sixth leaf mean? Seventh? etc.? Does anyone know?
OOh!!! i may not be that lucky to find that many lucky leaf clovers but I did find one four leaf clover.
I was just walking around outside and found six four leaf clovers in the same small patch. Is there a different meaning or interpretation for finding many beside each other?
So did anyone get lucky with their four leaf clover good luck charms?
I am always trying to find a four leaf to give happiness and luck, but in my garden i only find 3 leaf. Where can i find a four leaf?
i have found over at least 5,000… i think. i didn’t count. you see, i’ve been able to find them from when i was in pre-school. i’ve found 2 8 leaf clovers in my life. i find four leafs, five leafs, six leafs.
i have found in all about ??? (maybe 60+) 4 leaf,
5-6 5-leaf and 3 6-leaf! true!!
dmj1 – if it’s a true clover w/ more than 18 leaves, you’ve got a Guinness World Record holder on your hands. They’ve had unofficial claims go to 27 leaves on a single clover so if your 40+ leaf is true – it’d be real cool for all of us to see.

Over the years I have found a great deal of 4, 5, 6, and 7 leaf clovers. Just today, St. Paddy’s Day, I was on my lunch break at work and found over a dozen 4 leaf clovers and passed them around the office. The patch I picked them from has many more that I left for others to find. When I went back out to the patch of “good luck” clovers, I found a 6 leaf. I personally don’t think the chances are as small as most would assume, but it could just be…the “luck o’ the Irish”.
i have about 698 four leaf clovers and 90 four leaf shamrocks. i have found them all in about a week but, i have given a lot of them away as gifts. none of my friends have none, so i gave each of them a collection of their own. what’s the world record of finding these?
I have only recently found fresh (growing) four leaf clovers; up to now I did have a knack for finding antique four leaf clovers pressed between the pages of old, used or antique books… many still looking pretty green and nice (though very delicate) after having been pressed there for many years. Some were in first edition books from the late 1800′s and early 1900′s so I am guessing they are possibly 100 years old or so. I have found five this way.
I’ve found a lot of four-leaf clovers, but some jerk stole two of them and is pretending that its hers! I’ve managed to get one of them back from her, but her other one is at home. All of the sudden, I’ve been having rotten luck and cant find any more. How come she doesn’t get bad luck?
ive never found one before =[
In my life time i have found most likely more than 500 for leaf clovers. They always go missing even after putting them in safe places and i say leprechauns stole them. Today i found three 6 leaf clovers and 3 5-leaf clovers. I doubt that only 1 in 10,000 plants have them since most plants i've seen have had at least 1.
hey, i've always talked about wanting to find a 4 leaf clover, and went through a phase of trying to look for one. eventually i gave up - even after just saying "its impossible" i was walking by looked down and found one!
No one i know of in person has ever found one before, and of course were all impressed with my find.
3 days later the same thing happened! i found another in a completely different place! (might i add both of these were found in/around patches of 3 leafs) and a month later i was casually walking by another area, glanced down in a 3 leaf patch and found a 5 leaf clover!
after reading these other posts, i see that finding 4 and 5 leaf clovers is not too rare - but also that they seem to come in bulk in mutated patches... so for my own contentment i like to think finding my 3 in patches of 3 leafs might be a little bit more impressive =]
Hello today i was at school and i was at recess and i found a six leaf clover and about a year ago i found a for leafer can you tell me what i should with these beautiful treasures?
For what it’s worth, I found a patch of clover in front of the place I work and have picked 654 four-leafers from it this summer.
Hello! I find about 20-30 4,5,6,and 7 leaf clovers daily on my way to the paper. Any one know whom has found the most multi leaved clovers to date? I have about 400 or so. The most leaves I have found is only 9. Some lucky guy from Japan has registered a 19 leaf clover as the World Record, So to the comment poster (dmj1) with 47- dang buddy, get it looked at.
ekornel, I found a patch like that just yesterday. My classes were out for the day and I wanted to enjoy some time outside, so I went four-leaf clover hunting. I found a patch by my dorm, and picked almost 40 (I haven’t counted them yet) four-, five-, and six-leaf clover in less than 20 minutes, including several very large, beautiful ones. I would have stayed out longer and probably found more, but I needed to go in and study for a test.
I have found a company that sells the trifolium repens plants that are discussed in this article. These plants produce more four leaf clovers than they would in nature. They even sometimes produce five and six leaf clovers. Their plants are grown in Irish Soil to give you true “Luck ‘O the Irish”.
i have found two six leaf clovers and several five leafed clovers as well as lots of four leafed clovers. about 80 all together although only 64 remain as some have been given away and sold. all but 3 were found in the same place which now has no more ‘multi leafed clovers’ left.
For all you people who found 5 leaf clovers, you should know that is very bad luck if you find a 5 leaf clover. You must give it away and good luck will fall on both of you. P.S. If you give a 4 leaf clover away that is bad luck also.
In my back garden i found a 10 leaf clover! i’ve found lots of 4, 5, and 6 ones and they all seem to grow in the same place. I was telling a friend who didn’t believe me, so i showed him the area and within 2 minutes to our utter amazement we found a 47 leaf clover! it was just one big mass, anyway i carefully removed it from the ground and put it in the freezer. I’m wondering if this one is a world record.
the legend says: one for hope, one for faith, one for love and one for luck. They say that the fifth is for money, I just found a 5 leaf and I keep it tucked in my wallet next to my ID and ATM card, so uh… I hope it’s working!
Hi,
I have found in my yard recently 2 six leaf clovers and 3 five leaf clovers. Does any one if these bring you good luck or the significance of these are?
I have yet to find a six leaf clover and I imagine they are probably less than 1 in 100,000. I very much enjoy giving friends four-leafs. Yesterday I was at a backyard barbecue 1st birthday party for a close friend’s first child. Several of us were strolling in the grass and I was looking down at a clover patch. They said it must be very hard to find four-leaf clovers as none of them had ever seen one. I looked down and saw one immediately and gave it to the birthday boys grandparents to press and laminate. Hopefully, it’s especially good luck on his first birthday.
Hi. I recently found a patch of white clover located at the front of my house by the road. Every day for the past two weeks I look down and find 2 or 3 four leaf clovers. I am usually not one to look for four leaf clovers and was really taken by being able to just look down without much time and find them. Now, every day when I go to retrieve the paper I look down to find four leaf clovers. I even give them to neighbors who happen to be outside at the time. I hope the luck stills extends to the people even though they did not find them by themselves.
On Friday the 13th my young friend asked me how I manage to find four leaf clovers on a regular basis. I told her you simply have to look for them. I then looked down at a patch of clover in front of us in the grass around a pool in Brewster, MA and saw a five leaf clover (which I have found before on a couple of occasions.) My friend then looked down and found a four leaf clover and then I looked more closely at the patch and interspersed among the three-leafs we found and picked 43 four leaf clovers and 4 five leaf clovers. Has anyone found a patch of this size before that was not cloned or otherwise engineered?
We have a lot of clover on our property and I sometimes look for the lucky 4 leaf ones. I almost always find one or two while the others with me find none. Today I found two 4 leaf clovers and one SIX leaf clover. At first I though it was two clovers stuck together but it wasn’t. I have heard of 9 leaf clovers but was wondering how uncommon a six leaf clover is.
