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/

Great pics!
Very interesting ... I love that house!
Ohhh....so pretty!
I love the architectural details.
I like that house with the porch.
Pretty house, quiet garden
About your title:"Mute Monday"

"Silence is silver but your photos are golden"
What a pretty little house that is!
I like the details of the front of the house. In those times builders and architects spent more time designing decorations on a buildings.
A front porch with gingerbread trim was always my dream. I miss American houses.

Lovely photos. A porch seems very American to me.. and a swinging seat.
I do love the house, I have dreamed of living in one like that!
Such pretty detailing in these houses. A delight to see.
Great composition.
