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…

Happyland Music Fest – Part I

June 1, 2012 By Deanna Piercy 1 Comment

We are still trying to recover from Happyland Music Fest last weekend. I did get my kitchen clean and I moved all the stuff left in my family room to the exercise room and closed the door…which is my latest excuse for not getting on the treadmill. The house is basically back to livable standards….

In which I embrace my inner crazy cat lady

May 18, 2012 By Deanna Piercy 2 Comments

Just a wee glimpse into our life here on Apple Tree Farm. First up, a close-up of our sweet Shiloh’s precious face. He looks rather serious here: But he usually looks like he’s smiling: That last one was of him in all his furry glory, just after having the pins and external fixator removed from…

The pleasures of the porch

May 8, 2012 By Deanna Piercy 4 Comments

It only took 14 years of living here but I’ve finally discovered the “pleasures of the porch”. We have a large, shady front porch but for some reason we’ve never fully appreciated and enjoyed it. I’m not entirely sure why although Oklahoma weather extremes and bugs certainly play a role. David is a mosquito magnet…

And then there were nine…

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…

A crappy day made better by the following:

March 30, 2012 By Deanna Piercy 2 Comments

It was one of those days when people were disappointing. Pathetic attempts to disparage the sincere efforts of others and the spreading of self-serving misinformation intended to malign a group who only exist to serve their community seemed to be the order of the day. I am ashamed to say I let it get to…

Ol’ Peg Leg Shiloh

David took Shiloh to have his bandage changed this morning and then brought him to work for the day. This afternoon he posted this picture on Facebook: “Even me dog be a pirate.” ~David

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…
