In which I embrace my inner crazy cat lady

May 18, 2012 By Deanna Piercy 2 Comments

Just a wee glimpse into our life here on Apple Tree Farm. First up, a close-up of our sweet Shiloh’s precious face. He looks rather serious here: But he usually looks like he’s smiling: That last one was of him in all his furry glory, just after having the pins and external fixator removed from…

The pleasures of the porch

May 8, 2012 By Deanna Piercy 4 Comments

It only took 14 years of living here but I’ve finally discovered the “pleasures of the porch”. We have a large, shady front porch but for some reason we’ve never fully appreciated and enjoyed it. I’m not entirely sure why although Oklahoma weather extremes and bugs certainly play a role. David is a mosquito magnet…

I had been planning to get Dharma spayed after we get back from New Orleans. However I noticed this past week or two that she looked a little, um, broad? I was hoping she was just fat but this morning she presented us with five kittens (plus one that didn’t make it). Along with Tillie’s…

Spring is busting out all over Apple Tree Farm

March 27, 2012 By Deanna Piercy Leave a Comment

Last week Gentilly (aka “Tilly”) had her babies. I’d been suggesting she just have three rather than the five or six our cats generally like to have. She did pretty good and just had four. Most of our cats have been mostly black. We’ve had the occasional striped kitty and a gray one (poor Gracie…

Shiloh

March 15, 2012 By Deanna Piercy 7 Comments

We haven’t had a dog for about a year and a half. Our sweet Pyrenees, Duke, disappeared – we think someone shot him. Then Emily died and Iggy, the dog I rescued off the highway disappeared about the same time. For the first time in my life, I was dog-less. We could have gone out…

Oh, deer…

November 16, 2011 By Deanna Piercy 3 Comments

This morning David noticed this in our backyard: He told me about it when he came upstairs to finish getting ready for work so of course I had to go check it out. I took that first photo through our needs-to-be-washed sliding glass door because I didn’t want to frighten it off by opening the…

We got a little complacent

November 1, 2011 By Deanna Piercy Leave a Comment

Have you been wondering about our Raccoon Witness Relocation Program?  I don’t know if I shared the final count here or just on Facebook, but we relocated 14 raccoons. FOURTEEN! And then they seemed to get the hint that they were not welcome guests. In the past few weeks we haven’t had any in the…

Morning Harvest

July 11, 2011 By Deanna Piercy Leave a Comment

My plans for a big vegetable garden haven’t quite panned out due to extreme heat and no rain. However, I did plant some potatoes a couple of months ago and today I decided to see what might be lurking beneath the soil. I pulled out a few small potatoes from one of the buckets. I…
