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…
Late summer melancholy
Photo by Deanna Piercy, taken on my parents’ land My Facebook feed is full of people all excited about fall. They are sharing pumpkin latte recipes and talking about decorating for Halloween. My Pinterest feed is rife with knitted scarves, hearty soup recipes, and crafts made with fall leaves. I went to visit my parents’…
Getting Cozy for Fall
My POW (Project Of the Week) was to decorate for fall. I started yesterday and pretty much finished up today. I still have some things left in my fall decorating box which I may add in the coming days and I do want to get some more pumpkins and some gourds. But for the most…
POW – October 7, 2013
Here it is 10:30 p.m. and I’m just now posting. I meant to have a picture to share but, well, it’s a long story which I may tell later. I’m going to give that “Project Of the Week” thing another go. This week my POW is to decorate for fall/Halloween. If you don’t see pictures…
Chilly Saturday
We had some thunderstorms toward morning which meant that Shiloh was by my side of the bed panting from about 5:30 on. I think we need to buy him a Thunder Shirt. I took him out for a walk at a little after 7 and boy, oh boy, was it chilly! I had been too…

30 Days of Thankfulness: Day 23 (belated)
I got behind on my thankfulness posts so I’m going to catch up today. I took this photo on our land the other morning while walking Shiloh. We’ve had a beautiful autumn – warm days, cool nights, and some of the prettiest fall color we’ve had the past few years. I am so thankful for…
31 Days of Autumn Nesting: Day 21 – Taking a break
When I started this series I hadn’t really considered the fact that we would be leaving for New Orleans on the 25th. And then I had this notion that I could write extra posts and schedule them to post each day while I’m gone. As they say, the best laid plans of mice and men……
31 Days of Autumn Nesting: Day 12 – Priorities
Today was another beautiful day here in Oklahoma so even though I had things that needed to be done inside, I spent some time here: I sat on the porch drinking iced tea, reading and listening to music. And hanging out with Dharma: And admiring the view: I may not have made much progress on…
