Porch Time ~ My Favorite Season

March 15, 2016 By Deanna Piercy 3 Comments

It looks like my favorite season is here – Porch Time. Others call it springtime but for me, it’s Porch Time. Last night David grilled hot dogs to go with the homemade potato salad I had made and we enjoyed our first dinner of the year on our front porch. I brought out the Bose…

Father’s Day and Family Time

June 16, 2014 By Deanna Piercy 2 Comments

What a lovely day it’s been. Last night we attended a birthday party for one of our musicians at Vintage 22 and didn’t get home until nearly 3 a.m. so today got off to a late start. I had to make a quick trip to the store for a few ingredients and then we had…

Easter Weekend

April 2, 2013 By Deanna Piercy 2 Comments

How was your Easter weekend? Ours was truly enjoyable and the weather was spectacular. David was out of town until Saturday night which means I went to bed very late Friday night – I have a hard time sleeping without him. Sweet Shiloh awakened me at about 8 a.m. to go potty. I had slept…

Peace, prayer and meditation

March 19, 2013 By Deanna Piercy 6 Comments

Do you purposefully seek peace in your life? Of course we all desire peace but do you take specific steps to achieve it? I’ve been making a determined effort to flood my very soul with peace. I want to feel it wash over me like longed-for summer rain. I want the people with whom I…

With a spring in my step

March 15, 2013 By Deanna Piercy Leave a Comment

It was 78 degrees today and I couldn’t be happier. I sat out on the back patio this afternoon and when Chris got home from work he joined me. I had some music playing, we each read our books and I even brought out popsicles for us. Bliss. I just wish David had been here…

31 Days of Autumn Nesting: Day 20 – Rocking the Porch Time

October 21, 2012 By Deanna Piercy Leave a Comment

David is away on a business trip and I miss him terribly. However, I’m learning to make the best of these times. The weather is absolutely perfect tonight so I spent the evening on the porch, hanging out with Shiloh and watching our dear friends, Debi and the Deacons, performing in New Orleans via webcam….

31 Days of Autumn Nesting: Day 12 – Priorities

October 16, 2012 By Deanna Piercy Leave a Comment

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…

31 Days of Autumn Nesting: Day 11 – Carpe Diem

October 15, 2012 By Deanna Piercy Leave a Comment

This morning I checked the upcoming weather forecast and was delighted to see this: It is currently 82 degrees and I just took Shiloh for a walk. I purposely took my phone so I could capture a bit of fall color. That last one wasn’t an attempt to be artsy but a matter of accidentally…

In lieu of real content…

July 10, 2012 By Deanna Piercy 5 Comments

Lisa and I are leaving in just a bit for our monthly shopping/hippie day in Norman so this will be brief. And mostly pictures. Yesterday I delivered Meals On Wheels. I just love doing this and the people on my route this time are simply wonderful. One dear lady lives in a terrific old house….
