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/

Gorgeous photos!
The window shot is my favourite. What's with the yellow and red patterned plaque on the wooden building?
I love the window. In fact, I love it so much that I'm thinking of doing something similar to my kitchen window at least. Everything in my house is tidy and there are many bare surfaces; I hate housework and want to keep dusting and cleaning to an absolute minimum, but when it happens at the cost of a bit of colour, then maybe I'm overdoing it.
I also love deliberate typos. I hadn't heard the quote that way round!
I love all the pictures, but especially the last one. So pretty.
Beautiful pictures! I loved the last one. Nice post :)
Glad to see the quilt block up. Have you formed an organized trail in Madison County?
Love the assorted animals waiting to go 'owwwt' on the window.
Martin -- that's what they call a barn quilt Many communities encourage people to put these on their barns or on public buildings. They become a bit of a tourist attraction and often there are maps posted so an inquisitive rambler can travel about the area, viewing all the 'barn quilts.'
The kitchen window is double-glazed and faces south. Over the years it has gotten cloudy, alas -- it's not as dirty as it looks. And it's a wonderful spot for rooting cuttings.
Jim, I believe there is one. We're not on it -- none of our barns are visible from the road and besides, we don't have a barn quilt, though I keep threatening to make one.
Oh I love your window....!
Love them all-but especially the one of the window-such a homey feel to it.
Well, there it is! I agree, the window photo is charming.
Love the window picture. Your arrangements remind me of my Grandma's windowsills. She always had a bit of this and that, and pretty bottles and always a plant start or two growing.
Ali Ali sure is a pretty boy.
