Whimsey's Newest Review


  • What a lovely and sweet way to start my day!!!!! 
  • Thank you Paige Petroff Bennett for this review of my Whimsey -
  • "I took a short vacation when I picked up Whimsey by Kaye Wilkinson Barley. I went to a delightful island off the coast of Georgia. I met up with some truly Southern Ladies and some Southern Gentlemen. I met a rather strange cat and dog, a cigar smoking lady ghost, and an evil pixie. I had a lot of laughs, a few surprises and only one or two tears ( what's a good novel without a tear or two). This story is a love story, a ghost story, a family saga, a fantasy and a comedy. Do not let yourself miss this trip. Whimsey is the author's first novel and I sure hope it is not her last."

I'm a lover of words and a lover of images.



The photos you see in the blog posts were mostly shot by me or by husband Donald. Or, they're old family photos - a lovely little benefit of being a part of families who recognized the beauty of preserving our history through photography.



If the photos are not ours, I have tried whenever possible to caption or link the photos to their source. This hasn't always been possible as there are a lot of uncredited images available through the internet.



My sincere thanks to the generosity of so many talented photographers who so graciously share their work for so many of us to enjoy, share and learn from.



IF you see a photo here that is a copyright infringement, please send me an email (barleykw @ appstate dot com) and I'll remove it immediately.

Books Read

Every year I promise myself I'm going to keep a log of books I'm reading. And I immediately forget. Then I remember again, but only after I've already read a few books, but can't be sure I'll remember them all and so - - can't bring myself to start the list. It's sort of like missing the first 30 minutes of a movie. I just can't watch it if I've missed the beginning. And being the anal ol' soul I am, I can't bring myself to start a list if I can't be sure it's going to be a complete one. So. I decided to keep a list during 2010 and found it to be a fun thing. Especially for a compulsive list-maker like myself.


You can see my 2010 list here -
