There is a Rest home on the back side of my farm. There is a small field right against the property line. I plow about two acres there each spring. We put in several gravel paths last year. Any of the people there can have their own garden spot free. I have several of the local nurseries that donate seed and plants. The local 4H volunteers to assist in planting and on going care. Many of the people have lived on farms in their earlier days. It sure helps keep them going. Plus they get some good fresh food too.
Last June a family friend that was fighting a battle with Cancer, was living there. He was 87 years old. That man had a green thumb. He could grow a green garden on a paved road. LOL His son called me and said his dad was not doing well. He wanted to see me. I took off from work right then and went. He was on his last legs. He did not want to die in that room. So I got two sleeping bags and a one of the nurses gathered up several blankets. His son and I carried him out into his part of the garden. We had made a bed on the ground so he could set up but still feel the dirt. He spent the last several hours of his life setting in that spring sun and his hand in the earth he made his living from for so many years. THAT IS HOW I WANT TO GO!!!!!!!!!!!
The head nurse and the administrator about had a cow. I ask him what was the problem??? He said that it endangered the old man"s health??? HE WAS DIEING how can you endanger his health???? My friend"s family told those two to take a flying leap.
