Hi Vicki...I am a new Barb to you...a Black Mountain potter/sculptor, not recognized or perhaps not at my prime yet, though I am in years. I've loved your writings since moving here from, where else, FL about 4 years ago. Your photos of everything are inspiring also
It's been a chilly cloudy day but no actual rain -- about ten minutes of sun early on and then more and more clouds. Remembering how dry the summers can get, I'm not complaining.
Thanks for identifying yourself, Barb! I checked out your website and you have some beautiful pottery there!
It is wet and it is cold, mountainwoman but just now, with a fire in the fireplace, I'm quite enjoying it!
Busy as we all are, I think some wordless posts are A Good Thing, Kay. I'm doing them every other day... and I'm doing some re-posts -- a rather wordy one tomorrow.
Dear Vicki: Lovely app! Really love to see the green growing. The picture captured with the dew is my fav! I have yet to cut the grass here seeing as all the rain we've been getting lately. One week, and just starting to be sunny today! Just in time for the long weekend May 2-4..Victoria Day In Canada!Woo-hoo! Yoga on the lawn day! I'll get the garden going soon..want a container garden less work! Need to find good shade flowers for below my balcony any suggestions. Love the hens and chickens! Too cold at night to plant but the perrenials are good, forsynthia just coming out and the magnolias waiting upon the lilac rush!

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/

Beautiful pictures Vicki! Wet, yes, but the sun is suppose to come out tomorrow ... woo hoo!

Beautiful photos Vicki. Wish we had some of the rain, it's extremely dry down here in Florida.

Beauteous.
You have such a terrific eye. Your photos are so beautiful. I love the freshness of rain on plants it makes them shine.
Gorgeous photographs of our wet and cold area. I have a few words for it but none are suitable to print.
Excellent!
Beautiful as always, Vicki. I'm following your lead for wordless Wednesdays. So many images I need to download.
