If not for the fact that you live in ND and I in IN, I'd say you were in my backyard. And, oh, Sam's not a black cat. Wonderful pictures of your pond! Have a grand weekend! Cathy
I'm surprised you can keep those fish with cats around. Lovely pictures as usual! Love seeing your dogs and cats and plants. When my cat Jasper was about 12 years old, I deemed it safe to put some fish in our little pond here. In went six fish. Jasper watched looking every minute of his 12 years of age! Next thing he pounced, caught a fish and ate it! That will teach me.

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/

Cats are so endearing and moreover: they are great philosophers! You almost feel what he was thinking, staring in the pond!

I am not ordinarily a "cat person" but you just have to love Eddie. Great shots of one cat filled with expression.
Hi! Mountain Musings sent me to see your review of Room because I had just written about it on my own blog today. I loved that book, loved it!
I've been wandering through your blog though and will definitely be back. I'm in Charlotte. And sometimes Wilmington.
Love the picture of the dog and cat. Cute, cute! And that last picture is definitely The End.
That Eddie, really is Lord of the Manor.
Loved this... "Eddy" could be a children's book! :) Charming.
beautiful pics, the cat is such a black fur ball :)
are those koi or goldfish? love it!
Eddie's a little scruffy looking as I just trimmed of all the burr-filled long hair on his hind legs.
He's never, to my knowledge, caught a fish -- a mouse now and then and once a bird.
He's the star of his own show and I suspect would be all in favor of a book.
The fish are ordinary goldfish.
Welcome, Merrily! I enjoyed your take on ROOM -- I'm ordering the audio!
It appears the garden and pond are in good hands or should I say paws with Eddie keeping a close watch! have a good weekend Vicki!
