Housesitting


While "jim" and Dave are in Scandinavia and then on to Romania as a part of the Chorus Tour, I am staying at their 'cottage' in the woods. Lovely place.

There's a cute bridge from the parking area over to the front door. These plants in the front are foxglove - which are all in bloom now.

jim and Dave built their home about 20 years ago after looking for a long time for property that faced south.


It's quite cozy. They have lettuce and spinach growing on their deck outside. The only downside to this sweet place is that we have been living through a monsoon this last month, and the lawn grew unbelievably high. Yesterday, I finally got it all cut down again.

I have another house sitting gig to get formalized, probably in late July through August 20. Debbie and Dan want me to come back to live with them, so that I can pet sit, while they begin trying out what it would be like to travel together after Kasie goes to college.

I don't know what I am going to do. I had a real yen to be a gypsy, and I certainly have enjoyed it. I do not enjoy the thought of finding a full time job to support a lifestyle of having a home and all the maintenance that goes with it. I'm living an alternative lifestyle and I like it. We will just have to see what will happen after summer. Living in the question. Living in the unknowing asks me to trust the universe, trust myself, and trust Source. I think I will practice the thing called trust. It calls to me.
