April 8, 2010 By Deanna Piercy Leave a Comment

A few weeks ago I entered a contest. The assignment was to write about New Orleans in 200 words or less. I didn’t win so I decided to share it here:   Can you be homesick for a place you’ve never lived? I can’t think of any other way to describe the longing I feel…

April 8, 2010 By Deanna Piercy Leave a Comment

Flowering dogwood tree Wisteria Spring chickens…and a rooster. And what is becoming a Spring ritual here on Apple Tree Farm, new kittens. They were a little early, though.

I think I’ll dance…

March 30, 2010 By Deanna Piercy 4 Comments

One of my absolute favorite things to do while in New Orleans is to simply hang out in Jackson Square and enjoy the street performers, especially the musicians. During our last trip, we needed to kill a couple of hours between the time we checked out of our condo and when our room would be…
