J’en ai marre

April 28, 2009

It started out fine enough. Rain in the morning. Now. We have snow. Not a little snow. Huge flakes of snow. Coming down at a steady pace. I really am fed up with the snow. For heavens sake, I just washed and put up all the scarves, gloves and snow pants until next winter. [...]

April 26, 2009

We spent part of Saturday in Yverdon-les-Bains. Even the girls kept talking about how they had the best day. All of us are looking forward to another visit this summer to explore the area even more. My husband took all of the photos below except for the last one. My girls had a blast playing [...]

Spring walk in Jura mountains

April 22, 2009

The rest of the photos from our walk on Sunday. The forest was full of light. We had to be careful not to slip on the way down because of all the small loose rocks on the path. Blooming leaves on a bush. Leaves BLOOMING on a bush! No, I can not talk about it [...]

Today, in the Jura of Switzerland

April 19, 2009

I saw… Many cats enjoying the day in the fields. Spring buds covering trees and bushes. Young horses that wanted to say hello. Lovely Jura farms spread out before me. Daffodils growing wild in fields. Tree tops as we walked in the forest. Gendarme bugs playing choo choo (as in a train) according to my [...]

non, non et non!

April 17, 2009

…To all bugs who think about coming in my apartment!!! My husband wrote on his blog that I was chasing bed bugs. In fact, it is fleas that I am chasing. There was a dark moment I was terrified it could be bed bugs but that was my overactive imagination. My mother told me about [...]

The weather has been so beautiful since last week. We have been taking full advantage of it. In fact, I am taking my son outside to play as soon as I post this. Before lunch we took an extra long walk around the village. After living so long with snow on the ground we can’t [...]

I love Neuchâtel

April 7, 2009

…I really do. Almost enough to leave my Jura mountains. The nice thing is I can always visit Neuchâtel when I need a relaxing day in the city. I like all the colorful stickers wrapped around poles. Spring flowers. We sat back with our feet stretched out as we relaxed by the lake. [...]

Neuchâtel in Spring

April 6, 2009

We needed to get out from under all the snow for the day. Neuchâtel was a perfect choice because it was bursting at the seams with spring. The girls and I are on Easter break for the next two weeks! We are planning on enjoying our time walking outdoors and saying goodbye to the last [...]
