Back to Flylady?

June 12, 2013 By Deanna Piercy 2 Comments

It’s been a week since I mentioned my plans to implement a summer routine. I’d like to say I have it all worked out and it’s going just swimmingly. But I can’t. It seems that my days vary so much that it’s hard to come up with a consistent schedule. I think I’m just going…

A summer routine

June 5, 2013 By Deanna Piercy Leave a Comment

It’s funny how, even though it’s been years since I was in school, summer still feels like a time to change up my usual routine. With warmer temperatures and longer days, winter routines seem out of place. I’ve been thinking about this the past week or so and am working on coming up with a…

Happy birthday, Shiloh!

March 13, 2013 By Deanna Piercy 3 Comments

Shiloh is a rescue dog so we don’t have any idea when his birthday is. I decided we should celebrate it on the day we brought him home which was a year ago today. I can’t believe it’s been a whole year!  This adorable dog has brought so much joy into our lives. I never…

Some things never change

January 18, 2013 By Deanna Piercy 2 Comments

I’m in the process of writing a new issue of my “Tea With Dee” newsletter. I started it back in February of 2005 but last year I pretty much let it go, thinking that surely everyone got enough of what I had to say via my blogs, Facebook, Twitter, etc. However, before I shut it…

Here on Apple Tree Farm

July 9, 2012 By Deanna Piercy 2 Comments

I’ve got a busy, busy day ahead of me (Meals On Wheels, hair appointment, errands and a meeting of our city’s Multicultural Committee) so I’ll just share a few pictures this morning: My tomato plants are loaded and that makes me happy: I took this Sunday morning while walking Shiloh before church: And this one….

Hanging out at Apple Tree Farm

June 22, 2012 By Deanna Piercy 3 Comments

I had intended to plant some colorful flowers in this large bowl on our porch table but I think these are way cuter: Shiloh getting an early morning drink from the pond: There are homegrown tomatoes in my near future: We had a nice rain shower yesterday morning: Peace in the rain: I’m picking up…

1950s Housewife

June 7, 2012 By Deanna Piercy 13 Comments

Last week my daughter who blogs at Retrohousewife Goes Green shared a blog with me, Jen But Never Jenn. A couple of years ago Jen had undertaken a two-week experiment of living like a typical 1950s housewife. I spent the better part of two days reading all the entries (she ended up doing a second…

Happyland Music Fest aftermath or “How to clean a messy kitchen”

May 30, 2012 By Deanna Piercy 3 Comments

The 5th annual Happyland Music Fest was a smashing success. Somewhere around 100 people danced, frolicked, listened to music, camped and ate here over the weekend. We all had a fantastic time. And then I took a look at my kitchen. Oh, my. Pictures really don’t capture the enormity of the situation but take a…

And then there were nine…

April 11, 2012 By Deanna Piercy 2 Comments

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…
