Winter is long in the Jura.  
Snow is simply a part of our life here.
We had snow as deep as now this past Easter.  My children searched for Easter eggs in snow up to my knees which meant it was up to my son’s waist.  So, don’t be surprised when you see photos of snow [...]

My life is not what I dreamed it would be when I was growing up.
I didn’t find success in a career as I thought I would.  I don’t have the big house with the white pick fence I once dreamed of.  
Life has been much harder and at times more desperate than I could have [...]

Below are snap shots of our walk along the outskirts of our village.

The horses were interested in us, but only from a safe distance. You can see smoke in the background where a farmer was burning wood that he had cleared from his land.

Here another farmer has the bonfire ready to go.

I have lived in the mountains of Kentucky. Granted the mountains weren’t as big as where we are in the Jura. But, we got snow. Lots of snow. Yet, I had never witnessed snow markers or snow fences (pictured above) being put up during winter.

Snow markers have been up all over our village since Monday. I was told that last year there wasn’t much snow here in the Jura. However, the year before the snow level was up to the orange!
That’s a lot of snow.
We have already bought snow pants and a coat that is wind and [...]

My inlaws and my niece came for a visit this weekend. When I saw them I told my [...]
