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 five 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/

You take such beautiful pictures, I'm kind of embarrassed to have you have looked at mine!
I was looking for goldfinches this morning. A neighbor has a feeder with thistle seeds that they love but I don't think they've made it this far north yet!
Beautiful photos, as always! But the bee and the frog feel bad for not being mentioned....
These flowers are blushing at the beauty of your photos...gorgeous!
you are surrounded by beauty...really some gorgeous shots...
once again, you have captured it beautifully...

So very lovely, the first is my favorite. I imagined how they must smell, especially the pale purple iris. I have one that smells of grapes. Thanks for sharing these lovely things this morning.
Lovely , lovely , lovely.
I can never have enough of flowers or birds...had a rose breasted grosbeak at my feeder this morning...no camera ;(
... and to the bird, who is so much smaller than we are, the flowers must look so much larger. How much more wonderful then must the world look to the little bird and yet he has so many fewer years to enjoy it.
Makes you think, doesn't it!
Great pictures Vicki :)
I can feel the lushness of the countryside; wonderful. And that is such a cheerful flower composition in the vase!
And, what a bird! I love the goldfinches, in their bright Summer finery, or even in the drab colors of Winter. They are so full of energy and noise.
Not to mention a frog and a bee. Lovely, as ever, Vicki.
Beeeeeautiful!
Nice spring flowers and one cute finch nice -- barbara
Pretty flowers- love that last shot, great capture!
I enjoyed looking back at your posts (I am behind again after another trip.) You sure had a lot of people at your farm for Easter – it must have been so much fun. As far as I can remember, even if we went to see the cousins, the most we would be was 8… I really enjoyed your wisteria shots – and the lamp of course. You have so many pretty flowers around you. We have planted our petunia and mostly impatiens since we have such shade. But we went to the Smith-Gardens were roses were in abundance as well as other flowers. It is only 2 miles away. But I felt kind of bad enjoying all these flowers without the work, so I volunteered to join the “Rose Warriors” group. They come to cut, fertilize, etc.
I don’t know if I should read that 1491 book – I get so upset at the way the US has treated its native inhabitants – it is shameful. I still remember reading ads in French magazines when I lived there, asking to help American Indians as their life expectancy was the same as the poorest country in Africa. My daughter did her medical thesis on an Indian Reservation out West – she had many stories.
