A perfect Sunday evening

March 30, 2015 By Deanna Piercy 2 Comments

Photo by Jen Payne Oklahoma weather is fickle and one never knows how long these gorgeous Spring days will last. Before we know it we may be sweltering in 90+ degree heat. But for now, the days are lovely and the evenings are utter perfection. Last night we took advantage the perfect temperatures and hosted…

Springtime, how do I love thee?

March 21, 2015 By Deanna Piercy 4 Comments

Today is the first day of Spring and I am delighted. Winter is always a struggle for me but as the days get longer and warmer I begin to perk up, just like these daffodils in our front yard: Springtime also means a haircut for Shiloh: He always acts a little embarrassed at first but…

Like a child…

March 20, 2014 By Deanna Piercy 2 Comments

Welcome back, Spring! I noticed on my walk yesterday that our peach trees are blooming. Today is warm and sunny and nothing makes me happier. Well, unless it’s this: My sweet husband had this gorgeous, blooming lilac bush delivered to me today. Lilacs are very special to me. My grandmother had huge lilac bushes at…

Hope Springs Eternal

February 27, 2014 By Deanna Piercy Leave a Comment

Look! Look! The first daffodil of the year! And more to come! David was out of town on business overnight so the task of taking Shiloh on his early morning walk fell to me (I also had to make my own tea this morning – yes, he spoils me). I didn’t check the temperature but…

Oklahoma birdsong

I took this short video today while walking Shiloh. I wanted to share the birdsong – it’s like living in a bird sanctuary out here! You can also see Shiloh’s summer haircut.

Dee’s Excellent Adventure

May 7, 2013 By Deanna Piercy 4 Comments

I’m not entirely certain what possessed me. It wasn’t boredom – I’m not sure I’ve ever been truly bored in my whole life. I wasn’t upset and running away from anything. I’m alone a lot so it wasn’t the need for space or privacy. Perhaps I needed to do something unexpected…unpredictable. Something that was just…

Spring is here!

March 20, 2013 By Deanna Piercy Leave a Comment

Today is the first day of Spring and I am delighted.  It’s hard to see with the reflection but it says, “Spring is here!” From inside Buds on my lilacs Wildflowers Filthy cat. She’s actually all black unless she’s been rolling in the dirt.  Our ten-day forecast calls for highs mostly in the upper 50s…

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…

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…
