Last Saturday was a big day for me. It was my birthday, not a big one, just a bigger one and I was invited to lunch with Judy and Mike. After that, we visited with Aunt Norma prior to placing flowers on Uncle Roy’s grave. We were lucky that some of her family came by to celebrate Ellie’s third birthday, Kyle and Laura’s oldest daughter.

Medicago arabica, spotted medick or burclover, is easy to recognize because of the dark red blotch on each leaflet. The spot is anthocyanin, the same flavonoid that gives foods such as blueberries their color. But M. arabica is not edible. An annual, it is often found low to the ground mixed in with the grass. The plant, up to 2 ½ inches tall, has one leaf per node along a hairy stem that is often red-streaked. The one leaf appears to be three. It is trifoliate, having compound leaves with three leaflets that are usually wider than they are long. Each is about ⅔ inch.
