Another happy story--Part 2

Continued from below.

In 2004 or 2005, I had told about my country life aspirations to the police I was dealing with at the time (and they ALMOST paid me)...but now a lot of time has passed....  It's probably too late for me because my health isn't great and I'm alone....  But ever since I was a young adult, I've had an interest in organic gardening as a hobby and I've practised it wherever I could....  It's been rewarding and enjoyable.

Have been at my present home for the past five summers and for four of them, I've had a plot in our community garden....  Am planning to continue this year....  Sometimes the vegetables take too much work but I've grown a lot of flowers and herbs, which are easier, and I've been developing a "butterfly garden!" Last year, I even bought a folding lawn chair so I could just enjoy sitting and appreciating the environment, for a while!

Well, my current garden has kept me busy during the growing seasons after my mother passed away! I used to help take care of her.  I've had an active hobby, besides working on my writing!

[My son and his partner recently bought a country home, and they're very happy and excited about it!  If I may say, I think I taught my son to appreciate nature although his father had an influence, also.... Life goes in cycles...and I'm happy for my son.]

The police would likely be happy if I could say I've had permanent, full-time work but, unfortunately, I haven't--apart from my writing hours, appointments, court and hearing appearances with correspondence and documents that went with them....  In high school and part of college, I had good jobs with full-time hours during the summers and part-time hours during the school years....  I've also done my photographic art work, which gave me a lot of joy and satisfaction...I've displayed many of my photos on the nature blog but the police haven't really accepted it, so far.... Otherwise, I've done a little of this and that but it wasn't permanent and full-time, as I said.  Maybe the police will be interested in my "country life" story--to show that I've had an enthusiastic interest in something productive (and to show what my interest was)--and there are witnesses.
