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/

That's quite a few bloomers. I've seen a few around here, too.
Scary for the future of these little ones!
Great shots, Vicki. The fourth one is stunning.
It's spring and we're missing it..... I've never seen all of the tulips we planted bloom either. Maybe we should get in the car and head north. It's summertime in Florida already.
Great photos as always Vicki.

What did I read...? ...about somebody needing to release the honeybees early this year or some big deal big draw wouldn't bloom...?
Could it have been the cherry trees in Washington DC?
very cool....i esp like the vine pic with all the curly Q off shoots....
Beautiful! All those buds look so hopeful.
Very incautious from where I'm sitting Vicki! We have a few primroses trying to flower, but no daffodils yet. Too cold!
While it's heartening to see the buds of spring, I find it scary, too. I don't want to see the blossoms and new growth zapped by a hard frost. I remember that Easter freeze, what was it - 2009? It got down to single digits on 'our' mountain, made much worse coming after a warm early spring. Lost several ornamental plants/shrubs that year and it took a toll on fruit crops in the area. But they keep predicting a warmer than usual spring. . .
Ahh, the hope for spring! Beautiful pictures Vicki as always. Thanks.
do I hear those dafs singing the hallelujah chorus?
Same thing happening around here. I hope we can return to normal temperatures soon.
Interesting shapes throughout your photos -- spring is coming to your gardens -- barbara
I can only reply that here winter draw(er)s on !
Natural optimism.
