Thank you for caring so much. You make my heart melt.
As for my tires, I've had problems here with my tires for much longer than this man has been working in this pasture. Argh, my tires have been going flat with nail after nails for well over a year. Since my mechanic has been counting them for me, and storing the evidence, and me, not reacting or responding, just going on with life, of course, there would come a day when my tires would become worse. This is my third or fourth set of used tires I've had on my car in the last four of five months...
I know very well, it's hard to find a place to live locally, and this is the reason I'm being asked for a place to stay. He mentioned a week ago he wasn't happy with where he was living now. I didn't asked, but assumed he was renting a room somewhere. The only reason that came up, was the large (dumped) dog I have here, took to him in such a way, I yelled over to the man, take him, he seems to really like you. He then told me he would, but couldn't because of where he lives.
I also know the Farmer he works for, he has young daughters, a beautiful wife, and this man wouldn't be working for him if he had a sorted past. Knowing this doesn't change my mind.
I see the way the man looks around here, and takes a deep breath in when he does. Country is in his blood, he's just looking for a quiet place to hang his hat at night, and the freedom to set on the front porch to listen to the frogs, crickets, owls, sing their nightly tune, while watching the firefly ballet.
Still, with all of this in mind, it doesn't change my mind. Oh, I can feel for the man, for I know he's not been able to find a place of his own to rent... it took me a long time too. He will find something. He's probably thinking I'm not around much, and could probably use the help. He's right about that. But I'm too much of a loner... oh, I can think about things, but to actually have someone around, is NOT what I truly want. I have too many issues, and it's not fair to anyone else... So, don't worry, I'm not going to allow this man to move in. I just thought it was funny, just when I thought I knew my direction, something pops up that could possibly change it.
