Spring is in the air

March 17, 2010

Even my cat can smell it! She is acting even more what I like to call “cat crazy” this week! She runs, bounces off furniture and meows…All the time. She is adorable. I opened up our windows to let in the fresh air like I do every single day at least twice a day. Emmie [...]

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 [...]

The Jura mountains are simply beautiful

February 14, 2010

Photos from a walk last week with my husband and son. The sky was so blue. The whiteness of the snow is a nice contrast against the sky. Look at how high up my son is when he stands on the snow. This should give you an idea of how much snow we have gotten. [...]

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 [...]

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.

Running to the bus stop! Look Mama! Wow! My son was right to tell me to look. :) A real Christmas tree. The light is so beautiful here in the mountains with the snow. A snowball for his grandmother in the States. Winter Wonderland. The trails for Nordic skiing are already marked. It seems someone [...]

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.

First real snow 2009

October 18, 2009

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.
