What I have today

February 27, 2010

On the way home from the grocery I stopped to talk with a neighbor that has lived in our village her whole life. She tells me about how she would take long walks with her children in the forests around here. They would picnic and play in the forest before returning home. She tells [...]

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 [...]

Berry Beautiful day

August 23, 2009

Yesterday, we went looking for blackberries. We found them in the forest above our village but we must wait a few more weeks until the berries are ripe. We did find some red berries but didn’t know if we could eat them or not. We decided to leave them rather than risk it. I really [...]

Horse country – Jura, Switzerland

June 14, 2009

There is a wild west theme throughout the Jura that I find amusing. Yet, there are times I wonder if I am not truly living in the west rather than Switzerland. We were almost to our village when we were passed by a man riding a horse. My six year old started giggling. She asked [...]

The beauty of Saturday

June 13, 2009

We walked over four hours today (mostly up the mountain). It was hotter outside than we used to so the walk was not an easy one. What it was… It was completely beautiful. Here’s a peak.

The hard life

June 3, 2009

Today, Vilay didn’t go into work. He had to have a bad tooth pulled. Luckily, it was a wisdom tooth. Dinner was yummy. We grilled out sausages and I made lentil soup. It has been over two years since I made lentil soup. I used to make it all the time but for some reason [...]

Jura, je t’aime

May 17, 2009

I love the Jura. These are photos from our walk today. I have so many more that I will share over this week. The mountains are a sea of brightly dressed Dandelions. I don’t know how many times I looked at my husband and told him that I can’t believe that we are lucky enough [...]
