Weekend blues

March 31, 2009

We had a bit of blue sky this weekend. It made me happy. Today started out grey but now it is sunny and blue. My two youngest girls are sledding with their class. I hope that it is the last chance they have to sled. I am ready for spring.

Pausing

March 27, 2009

I have been quiet inside and out the last few weeks. There are little worries that tug at my mind. I haven’t been able to do much of anything but hold my breath…waiting. The crisis is little by little touching our corner of the world. We have prepared ourselves mentally and financially for the worst [...]

Spring is here

March 22, 2009

The signs of Spring are here and there even in spite of the snow that still covers the Jura. A bee with new buds. ********** Sorry about my last post missing. Vilay was messing around in his new blog and made a huge mess. In the end, Bluehost cleared it all up for us. Thank [...]

La Chaux-des-Breuleux, Switzerland

March 15, 2009

Near La Chaux-des-Breuleux, Switzerland. Today, we had our big, white and fluffy beyond belief clouds back. I have missed them so very much. Hello, clouds! Goodbye, grey skies! Well…At least for today. We like to take walks in La Chaux-des-Breuleux because it is one of the few places horses can be found outside pretty much [...]

Our nightly walk in photos

March 14, 2009

It is getting warmer even if we are still buried in snow. The snow is wetter and heavy. I think it may be slowly melting all the way through. While I don’t think it will melt away in a few days, I do think that most of the snow will be gone in a month [...]

School craft

March 14, 2009

My two youngest girls made a really cute craft project at school last week. The penguins were glued down to the bottom of the jars but need to be re-glued now. When the girls blow into their jars their breath pushes the packing balls up. I love that they do such cool projects at school. [...]

Cat napping

March 12, 2009

(Sorry the blog was down some today. It was an oversight on my part in regard to paying for my domain name. I really need to set it up on automatic payment.) Emmie Cat is facisnated by the toliet. Every single chance she gets to be present for a flush, she is there waiting and [...]

Yogourt from the Fromagerie des Reussilles

March 10, 2009

I have passed by the Fromagerie des Reussilles on the train so many times I could never count them. Vilay and I have wanted to try their products since we first saw that we had a fromagerie near our village.  Some weeks ago, we were at the dairy store in our village (yes, we do [...]

Sunday walk in the snow

March 9, 2009

Yesterday, we decided that we were tired of not being able to take our Sunday walks because of all the snow. We went walking in spite of the Franches-montagnes being buried in snow for over four months. It turned out that the snow wasn’t hard to walk on even in the forest as long as [...]

Snow park

March 8, 2009

The girls remembered that there is a park in the lower part of Les Bois. We were walking that way and they begged me to let them play there. I laughed knowing that it would be buried but I still wasn’t prepared for how buried. Anyone wanna swing? The kids had as much fun in [...]

Views from the Espacité tower in La Chaux-de-fonds

March 7, 2009

We went to La Chaux-de-fonds to buy ink for our printer and sunglasses all of us. The sun is very strong when it reflects off the snow. It is almost unbearable. Over the last year, each one of us has either lost or broken our old sunglasses and we couldn’t go one more weekend without [...]
