About Debbie:

Debbie Bosworth writes from a yellow Cape Cod cottage in rural suburbia near Cape Cod Bay. Soon after moving in, she nicknamed her home Dandelion House because of the prolific crop of dandelions that take over her front yard every spring and summer. Rather than wage war on the little devils she started a blog called Dandelion House ~ the HAPPY homestead where she shares creative seeds on backyard chicken keeping, gardening, cooking from scratch, homeschooling, and painting cottage furniture. She created the Farmgirl Friday Blog Hop as a way to help others connect with fellow farmgirl bloggers. After discovering MaryJanesFarm magazine in a local book store she was inspired to put the pen to paper and submitted two short stories which were later published in MaryJanesFarm magazine. A writer was born! It wasn't long before she she took up "virtual residence" as the MJF Beach Farmgirl blogger. Her column is aptly named, Shorelines. Debbie shares Dandelion House with her handsome Yankee, two talented teens, their beloved corgi Max and a flock of 8 chickens lovingly referred to as The Cottage Hens. The "girls" can talk her into just about anything! When she's not playing chauffeur, chasing chickens or tending the garden you can find her relaxing on the beach.
