Hi everyone! I am new to this forum, and I just wanted to put up the usual first-post stuff, I am happy to be part of this online community and excited to exchange ideas with you guys.
The weather this morning was rainy, and now just cloudy. I love the rain though, and I am excited to take the dogs out later today. They don’t care what the weather is like as long as they get to run around 
Where exactly are you in OR?
Welcome to the board? Beware of goats and bring pie.

Cookies?
p.s. dogs are cool.
