Sun rise at center
Of the eastern horizon. . .
Day and night balance . . .
A fleeting moment
On the celestial scales . . .
The great wheel creaks on.

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/

Look at that fog!
Mabon - Harvest Home - The Feast of the Ingathering - The Autumn Equinox
Whatever you wish to call it, it is
Absolutely Glorious! Sometimes, I think the "old" names make our calendar changes seem deeper and make us feel more connected to the Earth.
Thank you for sharing your neck of the woods, Vicki.
And now, I finally have some hope for heat and drought-ravaged Texas. It is supposed to get down close to 60 degress tonight. I could weep. For 3+ months our temperature did not go below 80 degrees, even at 3:00 in the morning. Good sleeping tonight.
A beautiful photograph Vicki....and such wonderful words...The great wheel does indeed creak on.....xv
Can it really be, it's that time again?
Your photo doesn't look all that different from my world this morning. I was out walking - very early - and our sky was filled with a rosy glow as the sun rose and all the dips and hollows were filled with fog. We are just past spring equinox and our days are lengthening quite quickly it seems.
nice....the wheel creaks on...turning...really it is a lovely pic to go with your works...still dark here...waiting on the sun....
Best time of the year but it won't last.
What a wonderful way to open the new season. Thank you.
Fall, my favorite time of the year! Beautiful photo!
I saw much color in the trees yesterday afternoon. It seemed as if they appeared overnight. Could that wheel be, rather than creaking, spinning much too fast??
Beautiful post!
Rick
Meraviglioso!
Thank you to Sue P for mentioning "Mabon" - means the world to me.
In full disclosure, I must reveal that the picture was taken a few days ago. We're in the midst of some lovely rainy weather and there have been no sunrises to photograph for the past few days.
I like those old names too, Sue. And how happy I am that Texas is finally getting a break, weather wise.
No sunrise on the north side of town either, but oh my - the view of the sky and the clouds and the sun as I came down Old Fort Mountain. I might say that I tried to capture it with my cell phone camera, but that would admit to being a distracted driver, so I won't. In any case, at this time of the year it is worth getting in the car and driving to Old Fort, just to see that view!
Beautiful on all levels.
While you contemplate your autumnal skies, we rejoice at our springtime light.
We drove into the sun this morning for our first official college visit with our oldest, and I'd love to watch it set, but we are clouded in tonight. Thanks for such a beautiful photo and post. I miss the mountains very much, but your photos pull me closer.
Vicki, that is a beautiful photo and a beautiful Haiku. As we grow older, the wheel turns faster and faster, doesn't it?
Sue P, I agree...the 'old' names are much more meaningful that the new ones.
How beautiful! We're getting days of rain on NC's east coast. Guess it's been a while (other than when Irene came through) - we had to figure out how to open the umbrella when we went out last night!
Hello Vicki
Lovely picture! I enjoy your blog very much and your part of NC.
Have a great week end.
Best
Tracy :)
i completely forgot about it, summer went by way too fast. let's start to chop the fire wood and knit new sweaters (and socks and scarfs and mittens...) beautiful photograph!
