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/

Your pictures are beautiful and inspiring. I like that “silent Sunday.” I wish everyone would have silent Sundays, wouldn’t that be neat? Silence….. do you speak at all or do you use Sundays as “retreats” from civilization? Here my husband and I don’t know anyone around our house (even though we have lived here since 1976….) and so if he goes away in the afternoon – I never speak to anyone – it is so silent – I like that. So have a Happy Silent Sunday!
My Dad's favourite flowers are tulips, yet we have never grown them in our gardens! I, too, love silence! Thank you for sharing your beautiful world with us, in blissful silence :)
I love to visit and share your day's activities. Even better when I don't have to share the actual hard work of gardening! Talking of protected views, the one east from your home should be on the list.
nice rock wall...love the triangle design and how the flowers drape over it...and cool on the turkeys...been seeing them more and more...
beautiful pictures. love the title :)
Did that big storm hit your area last night? It was a huge storm that went on for hours. Hail, spectacular lightning and thunder, heavy winds with tornado warnings. and teeming rain...
Deana the queena
Awwww.... I see baby chicks!!! Cute! I want to hold a fluffy little chick. I love the cloud photos, those are great.
The silence is only on my blog post, Vagabonde. NPR is on the radio and there's talking in the house... But it's a pleasant idea. Actually, long stretches of most of my days are pretty silent.
Desiree -- we grow a few -- but sooner or later, rodents will eat the bulbs.
jennyfreckles -- I heartily agree about protecting the view!
Brian -- my son has included that triangle design in quite a few of his walls - I really like it.
Thanks, lines and shades!
We missed the storm, Deana -- saw lots of lightning in the distance (over your way) but only got wind and a little rain.
Brenda -- I'll get better pictures of the chicks -- it was rather dark and they are still pretty shy.
My thoughts entirely.
Gorgeous photos, as ever.
Amazing pictures. Thanks.
Sounds of silence...
Beautiful! Though I didn't have the best of trips to Virginia, I did enjoy the beauty of the flowering trees there. There are so many different varieties, and it is hard to tell which one is the most beautiful. But, together they make a spectacular tapestry.
I say again, you live in a beautiful part of the world, plus you have created beauty within it.
Good photos. Like your header -- barbara
superb
ooohhh aahhh!!! so gorgeous, so beautiful, blessed you are my dear!!!!
