Who Am I? What Am I Doing Here?
- Vicki Lane
- western NC, United States
- I'm the author of The Elizabeth Goodweather Appalachian Mysteries from Bantam Dell. The series includes SIGNS IN THE BLOOD (LA MONTAGNE DES SECRETS in France), ART'S BLOOD, (LE SECRET DES APPALACHES in France,) OLD WOUNDS,IN A DARK SEASON (Anthony Nominee, Best PBO), and UNDER THE SKIN. There's also THE DAY OF SMALL THINGS (a spinoff/standalone)chronicling the unexpected life story of Miss Birdie, one of Elizabeth's neighbors. I came to this weird business late (my first novel was published in 2005) and am still trying to figure it out. As my novels are set in a place much like my real life home, I thought I'd use this blog to share pictures of our farm and county. I've been blogging for over four years now, on an almost daily basis, and the topics have ranged from writing, chickens, food, books, quilts, flora and fauna of all sorts, to the occasional tiny rant. There's no plan, but there are lots of pictures. There's more information about me and my books on my web site: http://vickilanemysteries.com/

Beautiful pictures Vicki. I am hoping that we get some decent snows throughout the winter, and having a white Christmas would be a real treat!
I adore waking to newly fallen snow...snow...snow...snow!!
Gorgeous photographs. You and that new camera are really getting to be good friends.
I also love the winters when we can see the outlines of the trees and the rocky outcroppings that are hidden from view in summer.
However, I do not delight in the snow. That was a major reason we sold our Haywood County land and bought here.
I love the snow but only because I don't have to get to work everyday and because it rarely lasts long around here. A magical moment and soon it's gone -- mostly.
The mud that follows, though . . . not so nice. Bur I'm still thankful for the added moisture.
Fabulous photos full of autumn and ready for winter.
Thanks for your visit and comment. Yes traditions are interesting, because they change when they are imported to other countries.
I saw your wedding photos: they are great! I left a comment there!
A lovely windvane!
Beautiful photographs !
I like the snow...especially inside my house, in front of a good fire!
Reader Wil -- So you were married just a few days before we were! Interesting!
Miss Yves, I confess to enjoying snow mostly from the vantage point of a window in a warm house.
I love the snow but we don’t get much around here. The last time I was in real nice snow was in the winter of 2007. We wanted to go somewhere for my husband’s birthday in February and a co-worker owned a bed and breakfast in the little town of Burnsville in NC, just off the main square in front of the statue (he sold it since then.) We went and there was so much snow that all the stores were closed but it was so beautiful. I’d love to return there.
Burnsville is a charming little town. They have a book festival there every fall -- a wonderful event. And, as a matter of fact, in the spring I'm going to be teaching writing classes there. ( It's about an hour away from our farm.)
