Blue sky at last!
The icicles have dropped and shattered and the snow on the roof is slipping groundward . . .
in an frozen lacy veil that slowly
drips into nothingness.

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/

We have heavy rain forecast for the weekend. The thaw is already evident and the rain should see off the white stuff, which is actually looking a little grubby now. Wind and rain; now that's something we're used to in the UK.
What pretty pictures Vicki, and weren't the blue skies amazing.
Yep, it's thawing here too, thank goodness, and it was like a war zone around the house as the icicles fell.
I'm actually going in to town today! First time off the mountain since Dec. 28th!!! And there was rejoicing!
Our paper says 54 deg. F. in Asheville today! I like your header picture much better without snow!!!Enjoy your trip to town.
Alas !Grey and dull sky today here
...
Fine pictures !
I love your title and your text.
Blue – icy pictures – nice, very nice. I like them.
The pictures look as if I'd tinted then but it was just that lovely Carolina blue sky . . . I was mainly thrilled by that perfect drop in the last picture -- "all the world in a drop of water" (can't remember exactly where that quote comes from or if I've even got it right. Possibly Wordsworth . . .)
I hope you enjoyed your day in town, Vicki! It's always so good to get out after being 'weather-stuck' as we say up here.
Beautiful photos!
Oh, is was indeed, Victoria!
