I was surprised not to find the expression: "I'm in clover" in Google. I'm from Texas and it is a common expression, similar to "I'm in high cotton". Have you ever heard of the expression of being in clover?

Just add in "tall clover" or "high clover" and it is American West, Texas before Civil War so older that "tall or high cotton", also common in New mexico and Colorado, "clover" or "hay" not cotton.
