It HAS been terribly hot here this year, hasn't it? I'm not longing for the snow in your pictures yet, but I do yearn for the cool bright crispness of autumn.
In addition to looking at icy photos, I highly recommend popsicles on the porch. :-)

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/

Even feeling cooler here, and I wasn't hot, hot, hot to begin with! Your photographs are beautiful, Vicki!
Me too! It's a very "cool" idea!
At last. I can stop fanning myself furiously!
Whew! I may even need to put on a sweater for a moment.

It did feel good
Love your sense of humor!
Stay cool! ;-)
I never thought I would like to see snow, but this unusually hot weather makes you think twice about complaining about the wintertime.

Shall we get out the Dr. Zhivago DVD now? (Enjoyed the post!) Jim
As refreshing as a tall cold glass of ice tea! Beautiful and just what the Dr. ordered for these incredibly hot days of summer.
I'm with Karen and her dog -- I'd like to go roll in it too.
Ooh, Jim, the Dr. Zhivago DVD would be perfect!
Such beautiful photos! I can feel the bite of cold air on my face, taste the wonderful coolness of snow melting on my tongue...thanks, I needed that!
Vicki -- COOL post! -- barbara
Definitely needed that.
Ha, right here it feels like that white stuff could be on the way! Don't know what happened to our summer ...
All things ice and beautiful!
