Blue skies!!! Thank you!! I am forgetting what they look like!!!! It is the middle of summer and we haven't reached 30 degrees C yet in a town that considers around 40(105) normal. It has rained for weeks and it is predicted for the next seven!!! Very strange, strange weather this year!
These were taken yesterday afternoon. Last night's sky was so clear that the stars were like torches in the night. And we awoke to the sunrise you see in the header and more blue. But, alas, the gray clouds are back now,

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/

What a glorious morning!
here too, Vicki, a day of cold but blue skies. the people I met walking all have a spring n their step and a cheery hello in their eyes.
Beautiful, beautiful!
I love the layers of hills, with shadows and light sliding over them.
Blue here too after days of grey. I think I'll take it!
We keep hoping.
Love cloud watching. And the shadows that follow!

When the sun came shining in our sliders we joked and said "what is that strange sight"? So good to see blue skies is right. Love the pictures!
Love the cropped, enhanced (?) one in the middle... Glad you are getting a break from the gray!
Slightly enhanced, Darla -- just a nudge of the color saturation. Looks like Disney, doesn't it?
I copied you, and posted some sunset clouds from last week. Isn't that the highest form of flattery?
