Spring is here!

March 20, 2013 By Deanna Piercy Leave a Comment

Today is the first day of Spring and I am delighted.  It’s hard to see with the reflection but it says, “Spring is here!” From inside Buds on my lilacs Wildflowers Filthy cat. She’s actually all black unless she’s been rolling in the dirt.  Our ten-day forecast calls for highs mostly in the upper 50s…

Broccoli, potato and corn chowder

March 19, 2013 By Deanna Piercy Leave a Comment

I got a request for this “recipe” so I decided to write it up as a blog post even though I don’t have a picture. I also don’t have exact measurements but soup is a pretty flexible thing. Feel free to experiment and adjust to your taste. Ingredients: one large broccoli spear, chopped (I would…

Peace, prayer and meditation

March 19, 2013 By Deanna Piercy 6 Comments

Do you purposefully seek peace in your life? Of course we all desire peace but do you take specific steps to achieve it? I’ve been making a determined effort to flood my very soul with peace. I want to feel it wash over me like longed-for summer rain. I want the people with whom I…

Click here or here for more menu ideas! Monday:I’ve got a large broccoli spear which needs to be used and David loves broccoli cheese soup. Sometimes I make a really rich (otherwise known as “high calorie”) version with lots of butter, cream and cheese but tonight I’ll make a lighter version. I’ll use chicken broth…

Our pitiful attempts to get a picture of Shiloh in David’s leprechaun hat: I think I need to get some dog training tips from Dooce.

Guest Post Friday ~ Italian Wedding Soup

March 15, 2013 By Deanna Piercy Leave a Comment

Italian Wedding Soup  By Hannah Medrano This is one of my favorite soups to order at restaurants and buy at the grocery store but surprisingly I had never attempted it at home until this week.

With a spring in my step

March 15, 2013 By Deanna Piercy Leave a Comment

It was 78 degrees today and I couldn’t be happier. I sat out on the back patio this afternoon and when Chris got home from work he joined me. I had some music playing, we each read our books and I even brought out popsicles for us. Bliss. I just wish David had been here…

R.I.P. Google Reader

March 14, 2013 By Deanna Piercy 5 Comments

I swear to my time

March 14, 2013 By Deanna Piercy 6 Comments

Note: If I gave my blog posts ratings this one would earn a PG-13. If you think that might be an issue just go ahead and skip this one, okay? Let’s chat about language, shall we? If you’ve been reading Tea With Dee* from the beginning or have perused the archives you might recall a very…
