All you need to do is call ahead and place your order by leaving your name and phone number, a brief message about what you are interested in and we will call you back and finalize your purchase. CSA signups for the 2014 season have begun. Shares are limited, so don’t miss out on your chance to receive a weekly share of fresh, delicious, locally grown produce. Visit yourcsa.com for details. One very exciting thing to know about our farm is that we are continuing to work toward organic certification. At the present time, the farm is what is considered to be in “transition to organic. ” meaning that we are using organic methods just like a certified farm does for the three years prior to receiving certification. This is a lengthy process and we are making excellent forward progress. We will have more on that in the weeks to come.

When it comes to the real estate market, things are starting to feel awfully reminiscent of 2005. Don’t panic, that was two to three years before the market decline, so there is more appreciation to come in 2014. But the reality is, if you are considering a move in the next 24-36 months, a meeting with Lee Davies Real Estate two-broker team will provide you with the foresight to plan for your future. Here are some things to consider today:
Buyers, expect interest rates to rise, prices to increase, and bidding wars on homes. The current available housing inventories are low and the best homes sell within days of going live on the market, if not before.
Existing homeowners wanting to buy (and sell your current home), sit down today with your LDRE broker team and discuss the pros and cons of each strategy to achieve your 2014 moving goals. It can take time and foresight, but the preparation will make all of the difference when it comes to alleviating stress and reducing or eliminating risk throughout the process of buying or selling your home.
If you are a seller and not planning to buy, you are sitting in the crown position today. The only question is; when do you sell, if the market is still appreciating? As of now, it would seem that you have plenty of time to ponder that decision.
Please contact your Lee Davies Real Estate Broker today, they are eager and here to help you layout your real estate plans for the next few years. Call 503-292-1500 or visit leedavies.com.

“Loyalty is unwavering commitment to the people and ideas we care about. We are steadfast through good
time and bad. Even when others disappoint us, we are resilient and forgiving. We invest in our relationships and do what it takes to keep them whole and strong.” Excerpt from Virtues Reflection Cards by Linda Kavelin Popov, www.virtuesproject.com.
The practice of Loyalty: I am steadfast in commitment to those I love. I stand by my loved ones through good times and bad. I forgive mistakes. I am devoted to keeping my relationships strong. I do not allow misplaced loyalty to endanger me. My first commitment is to the truth.
Affirmation: “I am thankful for the gift of loyalty. It nurtures my commitments.“

HealthSource Chiropractic and Progressive Rehab wants to extend a helping paw to local animals by providing a Free Community Health Screening in exchange for a donation to the Oregon Humane Society.
Donations of animal treats, chew toys, animal food, and monetary donations will be accepted at the office located at 13305 NW Cornell Rd Suite E Portland, OR 97229 up until February 28. Contributors are encouraged to call and set up an appointment.
The 19-point health screenings (a $189 value) will help track down even the smallest amounts of pain, including those suffering from a wide range of problems such as low back pain, headaches, neck pain, shoulder or arm pain, bulging or herniated discs, leg pain, numbness and more. Even X-Rays will be included if necessary.
Each year, approximately 5-7 million companion animals enter animal shelters nationwide. Low adoption rates are one factor driving the high number of animals in shelters, but every year, millions of dogs and cats are relinquished by their owner or rescued from the streets by animal control officers and private citizens, and brought to animal shelters. These circumstances leave shelters and rescue groups with a large number of animals in need of homes, and an even larger need for donations in order to help take care of them.
To learn more about the Oregon Humane Society donation drive, or to schedule an appointment, call 503-746-5085 today.
