While I Was Taking Pictures...
Dear friends -- I'm in quite a time crunch, with events for the new book as well as some teaching commitments that are taking much of my time. I will be around to visit as soon as possible...
They are all the same that way, aren't they? Shoes, slippers, socks...anything that has your smell on it. She is such a pretty girl, Vicki! It's clear she has already stolen your heart completely! Your pictures are superb!! I will come back again to enjoy them often.
These are wonderful shots Vicki! That first one is perfect. Little Willa looks like she's a perfect fit in your household! Some people pay good money for items like hats and blue jeans that are already distressed!
Your photos are beautiful, Vicki, and I love the one of Willa. Now that she's found her perfect home, it's only natural she'd want to decorate it with a few specially chosen items. Precious!
The fifth picture is the road from our house, heading down to the mailbox. Those are some of our cows on the left. It's a half mile from the mailbox up the road to our house.

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/

Oh what lovely pictures. Willa is adorable, and she didn't destroy anything, just played with them a little!
Hahaha, that last one broke the theme you had going, just a little bit. Hope she just collecting.

Willa was mostly collecting -- she did distress the brim of the cap just a tad... but she has, indeed, stolen our hearts.
You can only be in one place at a time, Vicki. The pictures are magnificent.
The best to you with the new book. ANd so many thanks for thinking of us with the gorgeous photos. All of them joyous, especially down to Willa.
i appreciate your bits of beauty from your world...dont sweat it...go sell that book we will be here when you return...
I will miss you...but wish you well in all your endeavors! Time is relative...I heard somewhere. So stretch it out to fit your needs.

Beautiful, Vicki. Especially the first one with the morning fog in the valleys and the one of the farm lane. Jim

All curbs and lines blend beautifully in this season. And Willa is having a blast!
These beautiful photographs will entertain us for quite a while. Take a deep breath, relax, and don't forget to exhale afterwards.
Hello Vicki
I love the first picture and the way the sun is shining on top of the trees. The fifth picture--is that the road to your house-?
Hope you will have a great weekend!
Best
Tracy :)
The fifth picture is the road from our house, heading down to the mailbox. Those are some of our cows on the left. It's a half mile from the mailbox up the road to our house.
I bet Willa had a blast entertaining herself while you were out and about. Lovely fall photos!
