Summer Television

June 14, 2016 By Deanna Piercy 4 Comments

I virtually never watch daytime TV except on some rare occasions in hotel rooms. Each time I am reminded of why I don’t bother at home – there is nothing worth watching. In a way I find that rather sad as I have fond childhood memories of watching morning television during the summer when school…

Too Soon…

September 22, 2014 By Deanna Piercy 6 Comments

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

September 3, 2014 By Deanna Piercy 8 Comments

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’…

Invincible summer

February 20, 2014 By Deanna Piercy Leave a Comment

I just took Shiloh for a walk and the soft, warm, night air was a reminder that winter won’t last forever. We’ve had an unusual amount of snow and the dearth of sunshine has taken its toll on me. Yesterday was unseasonably warm and it made me so happy I nearly cried. I know we…

Geraniums and Pumpkins ~ On the Cusp of Change

September 23, 2013 By Deanna Piercy 3 Comments

Today is the Autumnal Equinox, the first day of Autumn, that perfect balance of light and dark. I’m truly a summer girl but Autumn certainly has its charms. Our temperatures are cooling but still nice and warm during the day. This coming week we should see highs in the 80s and lows in the 50s…

Sweet Tea and Saltines ~ Childhood Memories From a Simpler Time

June 24, 2013 By Deanna Piercy 6 Comments

The summers of my childhood were a gentle time of long, sunny days spent playing with my cousins and brothers. My cousin and best friend in the whole wide world lived next door. Nearly every summer morning Sue and I would load up our doll strollers and push them along the hard-packed desert sand path…

A summer routine

June 5, 2013 By Deanna Piercy Leave a Comment

It’s funny how, even though it’s been years since I was in school, summer still feels like a time to change up my usual routine. With warmer temperatures and longer days, winter routines seem out of place. I’ve been thinking about this the past week or so and am working on coming up with a…

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…

Cruising Main

July 7, 2012 By Deanna Piercy 4 Comments

Last night, despite the ridiculous heat, we took out the Mustang again and joined other classic cars and hot rods in a cruise down Main Street, Ada. It was a special event in coordination with the McSwain Theatre’s showing of “Grease”. Even though it was hotter than bloody blues, it was still fun to cruise…
