Warmer

March 12, 2010

The very next day after my last post (complaining about the freezing weather here) the weather was warmer. It was almost normal. Today, it was still warmer. No wind. I am a happy girl. :) In celebration of the lovely weather, we took a walk today up a little mountain road near our village. It [...]

Even the snow crunches

March 10, 2010

Now more than ever I remember why I HATED winter before moving to Switzerland!!! On my way home today from the grocery the wind whipped freezing cold air straight through my very being. I had a flashback to when I lived in Ohio and would run to my car as fast as I could. I [...]

February 22, 2010

If you haven’t noticed before, I like trees. A lot. I take pictures of trees more than I care to admit. The tree with the knotted bottom was just so incredibly beautiful to me. Trees struggle and grow. When it starts to be warm trees bloom in a fit of new life. They are bare [...]

Baitchai for children

February 18, 2010

The children in our village celebrated Baitchai again this year. They made as much noise as possible at each house until the owner of the house gave them money or candy to go away. :) There weren’t as many participants this year as in the years past due to Baitchai falling on a school break. [...]

The Jura mountains are simply beautiful

February 14, 2010

Photos from a walk last week with my husband and son. The sky was so blue. The whiteness of the snow is a nice contrast against the sky. Look at how high up my son is when he stands on the snow. This should give you an idea of how much snow we have gotten. [...]

Snow walk

January 31, 2010

The snow is starting to get deep here. Each time it snows a new layer is added. The kids joke that they can swim in it. What is funny is that when I walk on the snow it feels like walking on a sandy beach with shoes on. It takes an effort to walk through [...]

Snowy white

January 19, 2010

The last bit of our snowy walk I shared with you in my previous post. Sadly, the trees are no longer covered in snow. Shimmering frost does cover the trees every morning which kinda makes up for it.

October 18, 2009

I say first real snow because it did snow this past Friday. It wasn’t for long and it melted as soon as it hit the ground. Today, we woke up to a light cover of snow. Beautiful.
