We are done now, right?

March 3, 2014 By Deanna Piercy 1 Comment

Rain, ice, sleet, snow, thundersnow, thundersleet! We have run the gamut of winter weather today. Church was cancelled, roads are treacherous, and area schools have already cancelled classes for tomorrow. Old Man Winter, you’ve had a good run but it’s time for you to scoot on out of here. Deal?

Hope Springs Eternal

Look! Look! The first daffodil of the year! And more to come! David was out of town on business overnight so the task of taking Shiloh on his early morning walk fell to me (I also had to make my own tea this morning – yes, he spoils me). I didn’t check the temperature but…

Invincible summer

February 20, 2014 By Deanna Piercy Leave a Comment

I just took Shiloh for a walk and the soft, warm, night air was a reminder that winter won’t last forever. We’ve had an unusual amount of snow and the dearth of sunshine has taken its toll on me. Yesterday was unseasonably warm and it made me so happy I nearly cried. I know we…

Just a housewife…

February 18, 2014 By Deanna Piercy 6 Comments

Have you seen this episode of The Donna Reed Show? I must admit that I often sympathize with Donna’s frustration about being thought of as “just a housewife”. I can tell myself that it’s an important job and a high calling and oftentimes I am even convinced. But the truth of the matter is that…

Blame it on Lucy graphic

One look at my kitchen and you won’t be surprised to learn that I do indeed “love Lucy”. And not just Lucy, but the style of the 1950s in general. The clothes, the cars and of course, the kitchens!   This post may contain affiliate links and as an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying…
