Bleakly beautiful outdoors, snug and warm inside. I love all the wood in your home, Vicki! And your new pup is looking marvellous! Such contentment and concentration.
We're enjoying the rain over here, as we've been quite dry, and we're also enjoying mild temperatures also, BUT when the normal colder weather moves in I'm afraid it's really going to be a shock. Aaaah, so it goes ....
What a perfect reading day! We need rain bad and should get it today. It was 82 an HUMID yesterday and I'm ready for a taste of winter! Your pictures are great! XO
I love the rainy days we've had of late. I missed this kind of weather more than anything when we lived in southern California. Who would have thought? Jim
It's a somber beauty out your windows. We have the rain and bleak here, minus the mountain scenery. I like yours better. I love the view through your dining room, your decor and your happy pup. Hope the weather clears for you soon. Until then, I'd keep looking at that sunflower!

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/

The humidity is kicking our butts. I wouldn't have dared open a window, everything would have ended up feeling soggy. Thank goodness for AC.
Some moody and atmospheric shots here, Vicki.

Strange, wasn't it? It looked so dreary and yet so warm. I read for most of the day since I couldn't see the dog hairs and dust.
