House Sitting

I may need help while I am away

I may need help with mail and deliveries

Our mail should be forwarded but it would be helpful to forward any that, for some unknown reason, is forgotten by the USPS.

I may need help with plants or garden

Possible watering of some indoor/outdoor plants if the weather is exceedingly dry. Reduction in rent if you're interested in mowing the lawn.

Comments: We welcome you and hope you will find pleasure and peace here. We have trails, streams, and waterfalls on the property. This is country living, so you might see occasional insect invaders in the house that will need to be ushered out.
