Working with Nature (gardening, and woodwork).

[xise]

I love gardening. But I don't do much of it because I feel immense responsibility for life under my care. But one of the most satisfying things is making something grow and bloom. I like to water ignored plants, mine or others, that seem to be desperate for water.

I particularly enjoy occasionally salvaging pulled up weeds the landscapers who come my parent's house leave out to die. Don't get me wrong, I have no problems with killing or eating small plants, but in my free time sometimes I get joy out of replanting some larger weeds deep into the woods and making a little weed garden for all those left to die because of lack of time or care.

There's probably some deeper psychological issues playing out about saving others I'm sure lol (the whole public defender thing etc etc). But a big part of it is just a joy in making things grow.
