Too Soon…

September 22, 2014 By Deanna Piercy 6 Comments

photo by Deanna Piercy I want to paste these first fallen leaves back on the trees and nudge the sun a bit higher in the sky. I haven’t had enough suppers of sweet corn on the cob, my salty fingertips slick with butter. I never got around to making ice cream with juicy peaches and…

I’M GOING TO PARIS!!!

September 3, 2014 By Deanna Piercy 4 Comments

This past Friday night was one of the best nights of my life. I’m hesitant to even blog about it because there is no way I can do it justice. However, I’m going to give it a whirl. First we went out to dinner with these beautiful people: David and Joy Winchester   Then 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

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…

Just soak awhile…

January 24, 2014 By Deanna Piercy 4 Comments

When I was a little girl I could walk out my backdoor, quick-step barefoot across the hot desert sand and visit my grandparents who lived around the corner from us. A row of cypress trees separated our yards, a gap in the trees providing a shady spot to cool my feet before running the rest…

My One Word – 2014

January 3, 2014 By Deanna Piercy 2 Comments

Chances are you’ve heard of the “one word” thing which has been making the rounds the past few years. The idea is that instead of making a list of New Year’s resolutions (or perhaps in addition to those) you choose a word to inspire you for the coming year. For 2011 I chose focus. And then…

12 Things You May Not Know About Me

November 13, 2013 By Deanna Piercy 3 Comments

If you are on Facebook you’ve no doubt seen the number game that’s currently making the rounds. Someone lists a certain number of things about themselves and anyone who “likes” the post is then given a number and is supposed to do likewise. I was given the number 12 and since I’m overdo for a…

What I’m Into (October 2013 Edition)

November 6, 2013 By Deanna Piercy 3 Comments

 Autumn on Apple Tree Farm I’m rather late with this but we just returned from our New Orleans trip late Monday night and I’m still recovering. David and I both started with some mild cold symptoms on our way home. So far we’ve kept the crud at bay with regular doses of “The Potion” (I’ll…
