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 [...]

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 [...]

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. [...]

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 [...]

Attention aux chiens

January 21, 2010

Vilay took the photo of the cute dog above as it was barking like mad at us. A woman opened the window to her house and told the dog to stop barking. Vilay asked her where the other dog was since the sign said beware of dogs (not dog). She said, “Oh, but there [...]

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.

It is snowing

November 9, 2009

I look outside my window and watch the snow falling softly, quietly to the ground. Afterwards, I am quiet inside. The snow has arrived in the form of a cozy blanket of white.

The village put up the snow markers yesterday. I can’t say that it really bothered me. Even after last winter with the neverending snow, I am looking forward to winter here. It is that beautiful. The kids are busy in school. I am busy with the kids. ;) Emmie Cat did have a tumor but [...]

Fall leaves and winter slowly comes

October 27, 2009

At this time last year we had snow. A lot of snow. I am happy that it is still unseasonally warm here. Today, I walked around most of the time with my coat open. My middle daughter turned seven over the weekend. My oldest daughter will turn fourteen in a few weeks and two days [...]

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.
