Description
Hello workawayers ! There’s anlways a variety of tasks from weeding and cleaning up the flower beds and garden as well as cleaning in the barn and barnyard. Inside the house there is cleaning and organizing and also some painting if you are good at that. If you love miniature horses bonus if you know how to ride so I can teach you to drive the minis in cart, dogs and cats. The animals love when we have new people staying with us! We live in a rural setting 25 minutes north of Kingston, Ontario. Our home used to be a school a long time ago and now it is two apartments which I own the entire building. I'm Chantal and I live here with my son Matthew and my Boyfriend Corey. We have a few animals as well, 2 dogs, 1 cat and two miniature horses. We are close to two lakes where you can go swimming, fishing, hiking etc., you can easily use a bicycle to ride to the lakes. In the summertime we also have a large boat on Lake Ontario that we spend our weekends on. You might have the opportunity to join us or spend time at our homestead enjoying the quiet with the animals. We will have different projects to work on such as painting our out building and little barn. I would love some help with the gardens as well and maybe make a plan for some new gardens and landscaping. There is also opportunity for brushing and cleaning the horses and taking them for walks. If you have horse experience I have harnesses and carts for them to go for drives.

I had to work in the garden and prepare everything for the fall. It was easy work and I could divide my day individually.
