Hey Bill--I replied via PM (purple moosage), and got an email saying I had a purple moosage in return, but when I go to the purples there's nothing in my In box or Sent box. I dunno what's up with that. But you can email me at
ybfhousesitter@gmail.com if you want to connect that way. BTW, I found your message b/c I had a Google alert set for "housesitting," but I am SO glad it helped me discover this site! I'm at a crossroads right now about what to do with my (former) farm now that the kids are heading to college, and perusing this site has me remembering all the things that brought me to rural Maine in the first place. Ready to scale back to a homesteading level, after scaling up too much over 30 years. Housesitting is my plan for stepping away and rethinking things for a while. Hope to hear from you.
