Merry Christmas to you and yours, Vicki. That snow could be ours here in MN. I am half way through "..Small Things" Loving the dialect and the descriptives and characters; RedBird's about to come ot as a dancer and I feel an ill wind.....
It was a lovely Christmas -- though not what we'd planned. All day snow (4 inches and counting) kept our guests away but Claui made it safely back from SC (four hours for what is normally a two hour drive) and we had a quiet day with lots of Prosecco and good food.
I hope all of you fared as well!
Thanks you for the haiku, Miss Yves! If only I could respond in French...
Pat in MN -- so glad you're enjoying Day of Small Things!
That was an old picture, Gayle, but it's about what it looked like today.
Your home looks so cozy. Just the place to finish your manuscript after the holidays.
We've spent the week alone, but now that it is over, the tree will come down, and all will return to normal - two people, still alone, but not feeling so lonely.

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/

Merry Christmas Vicki!
Happy Christmas, Vicki! I hope you and your family are enjoying the day.
That´s beautiful, Merry Christmas!
Just a cosy home
under a mantel of snow
A peaceful shelter
Merry Christmas back to you, and your family.
Santa brought us a snowblower. The driveway is cleared. Do you need any snow blown?

Happy Holidays! That looks like we usually do up here in Maine, but not this year ... yet. :-) Enjoy!

Oh my, what a gorgeous photo - the bright red cardinal in that vast snowy landscape is amazing. Such a scene of winter's splendor!
