Description
This is a croft in the Boreal forest, at the edge of the Canadian Shield, situated on 4 acres.
Abundant wildlife, a quiet lane, beautiful night skies.
I will be looking for help for one week in mid September, to stack 4 cords of firewood into the woodshed, and to help process chickens.
If that sounds like your thing, you are passing by and you want some exercise, I could use some help.
~~~~~~~~~~
I'm a writer and mainly occupy my time with writing or reading. I'm mobility challenged.
If you are looking for a quiet place to curl up with a book and a cup of tea by the fire, you would like it here.
I have a piano and other instruments, and art supplies. -
