It is COLD outside. So, we have been staying indoors looking at books, playing games and keeping warm.
I miss our big blue skies that we usually have here in the Jura.  The sky has been grey all day long in preparation for the snow we are to get tomorrow.

My two youngest girls had collected a small bag full of chestnuts this past fall.
Since we have brought home Emmie Cat, the chestnuts have dwindled down from about twenty to two.

Saucer alone.

Saturday, we went to Bienne to enjoy a warm day in the city.
We walked quite a lot and ended up in a Nidau, a neighboring city that touches Bienne. While we were enjoying the birds singing in an otherwise quiet residential area, I saw about thirty wooden planks (like [...]

Since about three days ago I have had this overwhelming need to go out and snatch myself a cat.
We had a cat who was this huge tan and grey tiger. She has been living with my brother since Sweet Bear was born. After the birth of Sweet Bear, our cat began peeing on [...]
