Farm-Sitting

I guess farmers need vacations too.  And I guess I feel blessed that they should trust me to take care of their farms. ( one place only has dogs to care for)  I wonder, has anyone tried making a business out of farm sitting?  I can see that there's a need in my area.  I don't charge for helping out the neighbors (my closest friends are farmers ;o)  ), but if I went out looking for the work, I would charge.  This neighborhood that we moved into almost 4 years ago, has been so kind and welcoming to us.  I had a neighbor, whom I'd never met before, put up all of my hay for me last year, and never charged a thing.  God has taken us to a wonderful place.


Today I get to start taking care of a pair of emus.  Actually, the people that own them stocked their food and water all I'll have to do is check in on them when I take care of the rest of the critters.  Never done emus before.  Maybe I'll get the camera and get some pics of them.


Have a blessed day.
