    Description

    We are a happy busy couple in our 50s with a small farm in the country that we are rebuilding and replanting. We need help with spring projects in our small vineyard , landscaping and gardening. We will be putting in a sprinkler system and getting ready for the growing season.
    My husband was born and raised in Sicily I have lived here 5 years. Our interests are farming,
    animals, hiking and driving around the country roads.
    My husband loves working on cars , solar or anything he can learn to build. I enjoy gardening, cooking, crafts and scuba diving.
    We both love Mt. Etna and the sea ❤️
