Weekend Catch-up

March 25, 2013 By Deanna Piercy 4 Comments

The past three days have been a whirlwind of sorts. Friday was an absolute roller coaster of emotions. David and I spent the first few hours of the day providing emotional support for a couple of friends. It’s not my story to tell but I will say I was reminded of how difficult it is…

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…

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…

Impressive

That brown egg is a nice large egg.  The white one?  Well, let’s just say that when I showed it to David his one word response was, “Ouch!”.

Yesterday was the first day of Spring and boy, oh boy! does that make me do a happy dance.  I took my camera outside this morning and captured a few glimpses of Spring especially for my readers who are still mired in last vestiges of winter.  I hope these pictures bring a smile to your…

My daughter and I are attending the annual meeting of our local recycling coalition, complete with buffet lunch. She is also to be instated as a board member. Kudos to Lisa! Later today I plan to purchase…

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….
