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/

Still looking good!
It still looks so beautiful, Vicki. Your tomatoes have been amazing, but there's next summer to look forward to and make plans for and, besides, your world is also incredibly beautiful through the wintry months, so that's also something to look forward too :)
What a beautiful way of dwindling down! Your tomatoes look perfect. I had two tomatoes sofar they were green and fell of the plant, so I put them on a saucer and left them on the window sill. After two days they were red.
Summer's colour slowly yielding to another season.
The end of a season but still so very beautiful. We are at the start of the tomato season, we have wee tomato plants potted up ready to planted in the ground in a few weeks time.
Hello Vicki
Hard to believe you still have tomatoes! Sad to see summer go, but I look forward to fall and all the pretty colors.
Best
Tracy :)
I am amazed at your tomato crop this year Vicki. You had the makings of a grand farm stand. Fall is definitely in the air.

It's such a relief to have the heat finally beginning to ease off! Three cheers for autumn!!!
That's probably the last of my tomatoes -- I picked them Sunday. I'll miss them but, f we had tomatoes that good all year round, they wouldn't be nearly so appreciated.
Treasures of Life.
We turned the sheep into our tomatoes weeks ago. Some years are good and some are not. This was an are not year for us. Loved seeing the different varieties you grew this summer. Aren't these cooler days just wonderful?!?
smiles...the waining days...i am hoarding tomatoes sandwiches before they disappear for another year...lovely plant life...the colors will be bursting soon enough before the death...
Of all the things I will miss about summer, tomatoes are at the top. They have been wonderful this year and I hate to see them go.
"...to a precious few...September, November..."
but you still have lots of colour left in your garden don't you. After looking at your pictures of the morning glory and those of Jo at aBritinTn, I bought a packet of seeds for myself. I want to have a go at growing them over here in England and see what success I get. Isn't it wonderful how we bloggers inspire each other!
This time of the year-I'm glad they are dwindling down. I start wanting my kitchen table back-where's its been covered with tomatoes and peppers all summer : )
I know, here too; it's so sad.
Oh, I love the light and mildness in the air, the glimpse of the sundial. Indian Summer awaits.
Good for you, Rick! I was wondering if anyone noticed my reference to September Song. It's been playing in my head for the past few days.
If you find a place the morning glories like, Star, they will be with you year after year.
I've saved seeds if anyone would like some -- not beyond the USA though. Most countries don't allow casual import of seeds.
What an absolutely gorgeous rose!!!!!! Cathy
Such beautiful photos.
I finally have a tomato turning red. Thanks to the raccoons, a bad tomato season. I may have to sleep outside near the tomato plant tonight so I get the tomato and not the masked bandits.
