What a wonderful online community here! I am so glad I found y'all.
My name is Deborah and I live in Beaverton with DH (techie, urban guy), boy baby - 7 years, girl baby - 5 years, and 3 silly cats. I'm an artist and mom, crazy composter, great gardener, but not very successful vegetable grower- YET! I am turning my front flower bed along the driveway into veggies, squash this year, next year, tomatoes and peppers because my back yard is just too shady. I have an amazing recipe for chili sauce that my great-grandmother "Mama" taught to my mom. I am sure I can get a canning lesson from someone here, of course.javascript:insertsmilie(' ')
My dream is to have 2-5 acres with lots of flowers, chickens, a few sheep or goats. DH just doesn't get my desire for chickens, but he is wonderfully supportive anyway. I would love to hear from other Oregon farmgirls, especially in the Portland westside area.
Blessings! Deborah |

Welcome, Deborah! I live in Portland and belong to the Clark County Farmgirls. We'd love to have you come for a visit. I was just in Beaverton yesterday, actually. Would you like to come to our next chapter meeting/Halloween party at my house?
Again, Welcome! You'll love it here!
Farmgirl hug,

Welcome, Deborah!
Amazingly enough, I think I have been to Beaverton! Is it near Tillamook? If so it is BEAUTIFUL there! Even if it is not where I am thinking of, I am sure it is still pretty. :-)
It sounds like you are lucky enough to have some Farmgirls in your area. Please come back and chat soon, I am sure you will have plenty of tips to share with us, too!
Friends,
Toni |

Deb,
Welcome, we lived in Hillsboro for almost 11 years. Lovely place that was for sure.
Glad you are here and have found some Portland girls already. Yippee.
Have fun and join on in.

Thank you all so much. I have only lived in Oregon for 2 years now, but I have been to McMinnville. It is a beautiful little town. I am so glad we got a break in the rain this week. I planted 4 lavender plants after dinner, chatted with my neighbor and let the kids run around like little maniacs for an hour. What a great day!
Blessings, Deborah |
