The Jura in Spring

April 25, 2008

Our mountains are blooming with Spring. We are taking nightly walks as we did before the snow. The children run in the fields along the road and search for hidden treasures in nature while Vilay and I talk about how much we love it here. Here are some of my favorite photos I took: The [...]

A promise

April 14, 2008

I feel like we have passed through a long winter in our life.

April 13, 2008

We walked six miles over our beautiful mountains. The sky was immense. It was covered in a deep blue decorated with huge white fluffy clouds. It felt good to stretch our muscles on a weekend walk.

Signs of Spring

March 17, 2008

Spring flowers are pushing through the earth to stretch in the warm sun. The water has thawed in this small pond. The ants are busy. Horses are out and about leaving their tracks in the soft ground.

Spring weather kind of day

February 25, 2008

Our family took it’s usually Sunday stroll, yesterday. The weather was like spring. We had to take our coats off as we walked. The warmth of the sun thawed away our winter blues. I have loved winter here in the Jura but am ready for warmer weather. I miss walking every day. With the cold [...]
