Day Thirteen…

February 1, 2009 By Deanna Piercy 4 Comments

I could have made do with just picking up some milk and perhaps three or four other items today but David gave me my household allowance today. I figured it was silly to make another trip on Monday to buy groceries when I was going to be in town today anyway. So, I went ahead…

Day Twelve…

I finally left Apple Tree Farm! The first time since last Saturday. We went out to dinner with three of the people in the young adults group we lead (I use the term “lead” quite loosely). We had a great time and it was good to get out of the house. I definitely need to…

I’m hoping to make it to town tomorrow for a few items but we’re doing well with what we have on hand. This has been a good challenge for me as I see a couple of things I ought to stock up on. The first is Earl Grey teabags. I ran out of my favorite…

Day Ten (Wednesday)…

I would ordinarily have stopped by Braum’s for a few items after choir on Wednesday but I was still homebound. I had some flour tortillas in the freezer so I thawed those and filled them with the leftover rice and bean casserole from the previous night. I had a little bit of jack cheese which…

These photos will help explain my blogging absence. A nice, thick layer of ice coated our wireless internet antenna rendering it useless for a couple of days.

Day Eight…

We are coping with an ice storm here in Oklahoma today and tomorrow. Thus far, we haven’t been hit very hard but there’s been a lot of moisture today and it’s sure to be icy tomorrow. We are currently safe and cosy at home with a nice fire in the fireplace and full tummies. For…

Sad Times on Apple Tree Farm…

January 26, 2009 By Deanna Piercy 4 Comments

We lost seven of our eight chickens last night and have absolutely no idea what happened. Their pen was secure and no evidence of how they got out. I’ll spare you all the details but suffice it to say, I’m pretty saddened by the loss. I also feel really sorry for the one remaining chicken….
