As white as snow

February 17, 2009

It has snowed on and off for a week. It is predicted to snow most of this week.   When I go outside to get my kids to and from the bus stop I carry an umbrella.   I have never carried an umbrella for protection against the falling snow in my entire life before [...]

A fun day out as a family

January 27, 2009

More photos from Sunday.   My husband had just slid down a mountain of snow as my son was starting to climb up it. He landed right in front of my son. They were both surprised and laughed afterwards. Families brought their sleds with them. I was sorry we didn’t think to bring ours. My [...]

Moments from today

December 12, 2008

I am baking Snickerdoodles for a Christmas party at my two youngest daughters school. These cookies are simple but good. I would have preferred to make Christmas sugar cookies but I don’t have cookie cutters. I always forget to buy them until I need them.     “I’m not up to anything! I don’t know [...]

Jura sunrise

December 9, 2008

This morning the sun began to rise. It was breathtaking. I am sorry that my photos don’t do it justice. I wish I could share it with you as I saw it but this is the best I can do. I am sure my neighbors think I am crazy hanging out my bedroom window photographing [...]

Snow is a part of life here in the Jura

November 26, 2008

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 [...]

Our quiet weekend in photos

November 17, 2008

Our weekend was quiet.   Yesterday, we managed to go to Bern to see the Christmas windows which was fun. I will try to get those photos up tomorrow.   There is some construction going on in a couple parts of our village.  Here the workers have placed temporary islands to slow down traffic.  I [...]

Sun and snow

October 30, 2008

It is so beautiful that I find myself stopping several times during a short walk to try to take it all in.  It isn’t just me that has slowed down with the arrival of the snow.  My children can’t walk without diving into the snow every few yards or wading knee deep before they stop [...]

Yesterday

October 25, 2008

Here are some more photos from yesterday. I am busy baking a birthday cake for my (now) six year old, Sweet Bear. I can’t believe she is six. We are planning to take a walk later today. It is gorgeous outside. I hope to share bits and pieces of that with you later. I hope [...]

Our Heart String

October 9, 2008

I forgot how much work setting up a new blog can be.  Finding a template was the hardest considering how long the photos were side by side.  The photos broke most every theme that is available on WordPress.com.  There is one photo blog theme available but it doesn’t have a sidebar and we wanted one. [...]

Marché Bio in Saignelegier

October 5, 2008

On September the 20th, we went to the Marché Bio (organic market) in Saignelegier. I realized that I hadn’t posted about it yet. That proves I have been way too busy in my life recently. But, being busy is a good thing. I have included a gallery of the photos that we took that day. [...]

Les Breuleux to Tramelan by foot

September 29, 2008

Sunday, we walked from Les Breuleux to Tramelan buying our train tickets one way each direction. We do it this way because we never know where we will end up. A general plan is laid out and then we decide where to end based on how we (the children mostly) feel.  I recommend doing it [...]

Day in Bern

August 26, 2008

We walked for about four hours in Bern on Saturday. I shared some of the photos with you already but thought I’d share a few more. There was a big market where we bought some fruit to snack on. We watched a rally supporting Georgia. The sign reads “The more Europe cares, the fewer are [...]
