The last of Olten in photos

June 1, 2010

I found this little treasure of a post filled with Olten photos from March 2009. That is last year people! I apparently had this post all ready to go and forgot all about it. That was me last year. Last year…Well, let’s just say I am happy that it is last year. The year wasn’t [...]

Swiss cows in the Jura

May 22, 2010

And, a cat by the train tracks. Happy Weekend, everyone! My In-laws will be here at lunch time. They called last night from Goumois, France which is just at the Swiss border. :) She was interested enough in me to not walk away. However, she wasn’t ready to come over for a scratch either. The [...]

My village has spectacular views

May 19, 2010

I have mailed off our signed lease to the landlord of our new apartment. It is official now. We know our next address! Vilay couldn’t visit the apartment with me due to work and school. So, he will only see our next home the day we collect the keys! Now if that isn’t trust I [...]

Walk this way…

May 16, 2010

We took an hour walk around the village before lunch. It was a bit chilly outside. We hope that soon it will be warmer. No matter, the walk was still perfect. All images are clickable to view larger. A ant colony that we have watched for three years through all the seasons. It is as [...]

Where my heart is

May 12, 2010

Currently listening to the kids at recess (always 10 a.m.). My first grader is there somewhere in the mixture of running and ball bouncing that I see from my window as I type this. We will move at the end of June into our next home. Every day I walk by the apartment building we [...]

Walking with my son

May 11, 2010

My son and I took over an hour and half walk today. We walked around the village and a little outside of the village. A few drops of rain forced us to pull up our hoods of our coats time to time. Mostly, it was clear and perfect for walking. We stood for several minutes [...]

One rainy day in La Chaux-de-fonds

May 11, 2010

Last year, La Chaux-de-fonds and Le Locle received recognition from UNESCO for outstanding universal value. These two cities that almost touch one another were built completely around and for watchmaking. The Musée International d’Horloger is located in La Chaux-de-fonds. We still haven’t visited this museum dedicated to horology. I can’t for the life of me [...]

Winter walk with a little spring

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 [...]

Random photos from our walk today

February 21, 2010

When I opened the windows to air out the apartment this morning I could smell spring. It smelled so good outside and the sun was so warm on my face. I knew right then and there that we HAD to take a walk. So, we did. It felt great to be out in the mountains [...]

Lausanne is a city that is full of life

February 15, 2010

If I could choose any city in Switzerland to live in, it would be Lausanne. Lausanne is always so full of life no matter what time of year we are lucky enough to visit it. I love living in the the Jura but sometimes it can be so…Calm. Perhaps, too calm. I yearn for the [...]

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. [...]

Geneva (Part 2)

February 10, 2010

Here are the rest of the Geneva photos from this past Sunday. I think my youngest daughter is just starting to get over the flu. She has been out of school since last Wednesday. She did go yesterday but this morning she was back to being pretty miserable. My son has a terrible cold but [...]
