Y'all have convinced me to stop pulling out the clover. I don't know why I started in the first place, being a bee lover. I'm actually going to go buy some clover seeds to fill in those empty patches. It's a mediocre lawn anyway. Might as well attract the bees. We have a couple wild bunnies in the back yard. They're around in the early morning. Maybe they'll venture out to the front yard!
I believe bobspez is in AZ, right? You have no idea how HOA people are out there! It can be brutal! And that, from HOA's that hire "landscapers" who butcher every single flowering shrub and tree on the property as soon as they get flowers, in order to prove that they are working while on the clock. It boggles the mind. When I lived in an HOA in AZ I was fined $50 for leaving a bicycle on my patio while I was in the process of moving in. Successfully fought that one.
Go for it -some fond memories of my youth involve clover.
Recall many lazy afternoon of playing some pick up games and then cooling off with lemonade or ice tea and sitting in the yard and trying to find a four leaf clover amidst the clover interspersed with friends and siblings.
Another was drives out to rural areas to visit friends of family and passing a field that had a large amount of clover, especially after an afternoon rainstorm and the wind wafting the essence of fresh clover.
Stepping on a bee and being stung while barefoot in the grass/ clover is the downside.
Searching for weeds as part of doing yard work is another but we left the clover! Oh, and Frosted Lucky Charms commercials
An errant thought on a parallel theme.... do those poppy fields in Afghanistan make the locals fall asleep like the characters in Wizard of Oz?

Ah, you just reminded me that my dad found a four leaf clover on the huge lawn at Monticello when we visited Washington, D.C. in the summer of 1965. It was a big deal He kept it for a long time, but eventually lost track of it.
Never seen a whole lawn of moss. I like it, but probably would get fed up with the weeding.
Clover is fine, I have clover all over my yard as it is.
The real question is how does it stand up to moderate traffic of dogs, people, etc. That would by my concern about the pink chintz.
