Description
Mike and I live on a lovely quiet pond west of Boston - we are trying to create a small park on our land and a vegetable garden and a meditation path. We are in a wooded, rural area, but only 3 hours from New York, 1 hour from Boston and l/2 hour from Worcester. We have one cat - mostly outdoors. Our house is on two levels and has five bedrooms and two baths, 2 fireplaces and an outdoor firepit down by the Pond - good swimming and fishing in summer. We are five miles from the nearest store and library, but have bikes to lend out and can offer lifts. We are looking for people to help clear the brush and help with the gardens. We have wi-fi and cable tv and a canoe and kyak and fishing poles.The fall colors are wonderful and the spring is simply beautiful. The summer is warm but we can cool off swimming in the pond. We are looking forward to winter and ice fishing and ice skating on the pond. There are snow shoes and ice skates and sleds here to enjoy the weather and lots of wood to cut up and stack.

Autres infos...
We have a downstairs apartment that is used for rentals and we provide them with scones and coffee. There is transportation to Worcester and Boston from Charlton center and we will be happy to drop you off at the bus and pick you up anytime. There are lots of hiking trails, cross country skis and bikes available. We are an older couple who like to laugh as much as possible and enjoy meeting people and hearing their stories and telling ours. We are both fairly busy with volunteer work and improvements to the house. Kathleen practices the piano, feeds the horses at Blessings farm, organizes Old Home Day and Recycling committee and Earth Festival here in town. Mike plays golf (he is a scratch golfer), member of Old Home Day Committee, writes poetry, and is a challenging ping pong player and is working on a book about nutrition and another with his poetry. They have eight grandchildren and two great grandchildren.
