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/

Love the photos and the sepia story of your mentors.
Yes, I believe it really is the sun, at last! We have it here too, this morning.
I really like the photograph - "an exercise in seeing"
Great shot from your driving mirror !
Great photos! It's so good seeing/feeling the sun again .. seems like it's been hiding for ages.
Thanks, Callie! An I love the pictures of your chickens!
Oh, what joy, Martin! We've had two days of sun and today is looking fine and clear!
Thanks, Miss Yves! That was one of those roadside mirrors to help people coming out of a driveway when the view is obstructed. I was driving by and saw the red reflection and had to back up and get the picture. It's helpful that there isn't much traffic on the back roads I travel -- I often stop to take a picture.
Isn't this WONDERFUL, Pat?
love the 4th photo
and I've seen catkins and pussy willows this weekend - its on the way!
Oh yes! And welcome it is. Enjoy.
I think that all of us are ready for Spring! Tra la!
Have a great Sunday!
The white chickens are Light Brahmas.
The short one is Pastey and the other one is Screamer because she yells at me when I take her eggs. LOL
Glad you're having sunny days, Vicki!
Oops, I forgot to say I LOVE that fourth photo!
Good looking biddies, Callie!
It was wonderful, Victoria -- I think we're looking at a week of rain now -- but not snow.
I loved that one too -- like a tunnel through the trees.
Oh yeah, photographers do a lot of backing up to get those pictures! ;-) Sometimes I spot something and continue driving - can't stop everywhere, can I? - and then my brain starts thinking of the chances to ever encounter that particular sight in that particular light .... oh well, where's the next U-turn? ;-)
You captured some really pretty sights and signs of spring, lurking just around the corner! The sun's been out here too, but I was either in class morning to night and Sunday and today was spent getting everything ready to leave at dawn tomorrow for Geneva.
wow. the pic with the circle in it...top notch!
Thanks, Merisi! Safe trip to Geneva!
Thanks, Brian, that one came together just right!
Sun Day indeed! I've so enjoyed the sun these past few days-if only it would stay around : )
It's been outside weather for a change, Tipper. Though they say rain is coming...
