Between my wife and son they have 2 cats and 2 dogs. You'd never know they weren't mine if you came to my house...
But I grew up on a farm so animal husbandry was my life, and then at 17 had my first child so "fathering" everything around me is in my blood. I have never had a time I wasn't doing so.
I have never had a life absent caring for something or someone.

Ever noticed or thought about my Avatar character? Or who it is?
It was deliberately chosen. His name is "Radagast the Brown" from the Lord of the rings Trilogy.
A very notably and respectfully powerful wizard, and yet he remained consistently avoidant of interactions with others.
He preferred his wilderness, plants, and animals to anything involving others and their frail pursuits of civilization, wars, and anything in abrogation to that.
He was known as "the friend of the birds" in the lore.
I feed wild birds daily year round, and also make sure my flowers in my garden have enough flower variety in enough pollen sources to sustain a variety to the 7 kinds of local wild bees I see annually in my yard harvesting from them.
I also pay close attention to, and this year the very disturbing and notable lack of butterflies in number and species in my yard every summer. I had literally maybe 1/10 of the normal variety and population.

I "love" unfettered and unbridled nature.

You have an admirable respect for the wildlife and insects in your garden. They will thrive because of your concern and how you tend your land.

I grew up barefooted in the wilderness of the Ozark Mountains in Arkansas in the late 70's in the most rural county in the state. More like a Crocodile Dundee sort of life mixed with being a farmer. Grew our own 'taters' and veggies in a near 2 acre garden, had our own laying hens, and all the milk I could drink from the cow we had. I helped my dad build the house I grew up in at 9. I'm a bit of an oddball in this world and day and age.

You were lucky to have that life as a child. You were learning all the time. Being part of nature.
Not knowing what foolishness popular culture was up to. You didn't need it. And you certainly didn't spend time watching the 'toons in the morning!
What a great life! You are a pureblood, untainted by the vanity of modern life! That life served you well, Yester Vue.

No phone in the house, no AC even in Arkansas, no cable TV and in fact was not allowed to even use the TV until after dinner for about 2 hrs in the evening. We didn't even have a shower, grew up "tubbing" it for bathing.
I'd still live that way of the wife could tolerate it!

In response Yester Vue to his Publication

Ha!
A hot shower is a necessity of life.
All the best to you.
Thanks for sharing those anecdotes!
