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/

C'était aussi "Un beau dimanche" ici.
What a pleasure to be outdoor, admiring the spring flowers and listening to the buzz of bumblebees.
Your garden looks pretty.
Have a very nice week !
How beauteous-- Callas on this day, that aria. xxxj
The music is indeed a pleasure : but it is that first photograph which causes me to catch my breath. Perfectly composed and taken.
The sunrise photo in your header is STUNNING.
Okay, everybody roll on your back and scratch -- uh huh -- feels good -- ahhhh. Wonderful photos.
no sunday was a gorgeous day it seems...great pics!!!!
What a perfectly beautiful slide show...I also popped across to Picassa to view all 59 images in the larger format...absolutely stunning! You live in a glorious place, surrounded by some exquisite beauty. Everything is bursting with life! The animals... all clearly loving the sunshine and being able to play, and roll and stretch! Thank you, Vicki, for sharing this magic with us! :)
Beautiful slide show!! Love the garden sculpture! Looks like the animals are really enjoying the warm weather.
Hurray, spring has sprung.
I hope your week stays as beautiful as your Sunday was.
The photo slide show is beautiful! A little opera goes a long ways with me!
A beautiful day indeed! but right now we are under a tornado watch! Oh my.
This aria always brings to mind Merchant Ivory's "A Room With a View"!
Vicki -- Sunday was a beautiful day here in Kentucky too. Time to feel the wind, sun, and listen to the birds -- barbara
I don't hear a lot of opera -- mainly because my husband pretty much hates it, but like Tess, I loved this aria in the Merchant Ivory A Room With A View -- one of my very favorite movies.
A magic day it was-- and most of Monday was pretty good too but we're having a heavy rain just now.
We had a beautiful Sunday and today also was beautiful. Now we have to get ready for tornadoes, they already came to Nashville my daughter just told me on the phone. My husband is a big fan of Maria Callas and has many of her CDs – such a great voice,
The thing about Puccini I hate, loathe, and despise is that he's such a button pusher ... It's almost impossible for me to listen to this aria without feeling weepy. La Bohème is worse: however much I brace myself and tell myself "You've seen this thing umpteen times, you idiot!", the first notes of Mimi! at the end (the opera people among you know what I mean) and I'm sobbing away.
Some of Pavlov's puppies don't need food to react ... [wry grin]
Lovely post, Vicki, thank you.
It's been a gorgeous day here today - I feel just like Miss Susie, stretching in the sun.
