Sun and snow


It is so beautiful that I find myself stopping several times during a short walk to try to take it all in.  It isn’t just me that has slowed down with the arrival of the snow.  My children can’t walk without diving into the snow every few yards or wading knee deep before they stop [...]

Snow, snow…everywhere!

And, we don’t mind one little bit.

Free range chickens in our village


These chickens are free to go all around the front and back yard of this house.  They cross the small side street over to another other house where they then peck around the front and back of that yard.  I have seen them in the parking lot behind one of these houses and often times they are [...]

Cow parade


We were out walking when a group of cows in a field started mooing to the other cows behind.  I think they were telling them to hurry up!
The group traveled along the fence line until they reached the gate. The cows were clearly waiting for someone to let them out. They looked at [...]

Happy in Switzerland


I have finally accepted that I love Switzerland.  
I love living here.
It doesn’t mean that I don’t love America or France.  I do.  
But, I know that I can’t leave Switzerland.  
I can’t.
I can’t live without the mountains, the sound of cowbells, the calm, the respect, the politeness, the security, the beauty, the order, the [...]

Lazy and stressed


With the girls home for Autumn break, I find myself not able to keep up with the housework.  So, rather than fight it I have given in and become lazy.  
We have all been sick and haven’t been able to take any walks together this week.  
I did laundry on Monday but haven’t put any [...]

For the love of photography!

My oldest daughter and I have created a photo blog to share our two perspectives on one subject.  It is a mother-daughter photo project inspired by how we say hello.  Our first post is Autumn.
The name of our photo blog is Our Heart String - tied with love. This blog is a way for us [...]

Marché Bio in Saignelegier


On September the 20th, we went to the Marché Bio (organic market) in Saignelegier. I realized that I hadn’t posted about it yet. That proves I have been way too busy in my life recently. But, being busy is a good thing.
I have included a gallery of the photos that we took [...]

First snow


We have our first snow even if fall just started.
It is coming down in big white flakes.
Beautiful.
Last year, it didn’t snow until November the 9th.  However, I was told by someone that it can snow as early as September.
Winter is long here while spring and fall are short and sweet.  Summer isn’t really that long [...]
