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/

I'm now following your delightful blog and will be receiving your posts via Feedburner. My
family lives in Wayneville so it's thrilling for me to find someone blogging about that area. I'm also looking forward to reading your books.
I hope you will follow my blog as well.
Regards, Mari

Oh I think I can smell the gardenia! Beautiful thank you.
And some sunshine to make them glow too. We have some flowers - just no sunshine!
You truly have a green thumb Vicki. Gardenias are my husband's favorite flower and they were my wedding bouquet.

Gorgeous! Am partial to the delightful Spiderwort... :-)
spiderwort...what an interesting plant...beautiful sights vicki...have a wonderful long weekend...
The gardenia is one of the best photos I've ever seen you post. The pure white looks porcelian. Lovely. And how wonderful that spiderwort looks exactly like its name.
That last picture looks like a hydrangea. I have one just like it and mine is at about the same stage. I have to water it every day to keep it going because it has been so dry.
The flowers are beautiful. I expect they will get some rain today.
This time of year, when I walk I count wildflowers! As gorgeous as garden flowers are, it's such a treat to see those that grow on their own. Twelve different ones the other day.
Your blog is very beautiful and informative, Mari -- I'll be back.
The potted gardenia is on the porch by the front door and the fragrance is intoxicating!
The weather today has been very English --rain -- sun -- rain again -- repeat.
