Love wins

February 25, 2012 By Deanna Piercy 2 Comments

This morning I read a blog post that made me cry. Eleven year old Emily had been eagerly anticipating Mardi Gras and her favorite parade, the Krewe of Muses. She had made a special countdown calendar, decorated with glitter, on which she would cross off each day. To say that this was a big deal for…

Happy Mardi Gras!

February 22, 2012 By Deanna Piercy Leave a Comment

Laissez le bon temps rouler! If you’re very observant you may notice that this is the same picture I shared last Mardi Gras. After a busy afternoon making potato salad, jambalaya and beignets, and sharing this meal with my parents, I decided to cheat. Maybe I’ll take a picture tomorrow. Or maybe not. Anyway, as…

Domestic Diva – Monday Tasks and Stormy Weather

February 21, 2012 By Deanna Piercy 2 Comments

Do you have a housekeeping schedule? I used to but in the past few years it’s become more of a general routine – a very, very loose routine – than a schedule. As I’ve written here before, I’d like to develop a new routine/schedule but it hasn’t happened yet. I do, however, have a short…

Butternut Squash Risotto

February 18, 2012 By Deanna Piercy Leave a Comment

A couple of years ago we were invited to dinner at the home of friends in New Orleans. Del had been a chef at one time so I was eager to taste his lasagna. Amongst the other guests was a vegetarian so he also made a butternut squash risotto, using homemade vegetable broth rather than…

Like a flower…

February 15, 2012 By Deanna Piercy Leave a Comment

Aren’t they pretty? David has been out of town on a business trip and will be home soon. He had these beautiful flowers delivered and is picking up dinner and wine on his way home. I think I’ll keep him.

A Day of Winter in Oklahoma

February 14, 2012 By Deanna Piercy Leave a Comment

I was thinking we might just skip winter here in Oklahoma this year. After last winter I was perfectly happy with that possibility. However, Ol’ Man Winter dropped in for a visit last night and left us with a dusting of snow. Fortunately we didn’t get the usual freezing rain/sleet/ice first. Just some nice, fluffy…
