  Description

  I am a single woman living in a beautiful home that is always in need of love and attention. I have created a little community on my small but beautiful piece of land with some lovely folks. We love spending time in the garden, biking, swimming in the lake, having fires, making and eating good food, watching movies, quietly reading on our deck while enjoying magnificent views, dancing , doing yoga and laughing. We care deeply about the earth and all her gifts and try to live lightly and with care. We love people and sharing our lives with others who feel similarly. We are open to learning new things, language and culture.
  
  At this time, I am specifically looking for someone to help me build/set up an individual camp ground and update the gardens in my yard!
