My village has spectacular views

May 19, 2010

I have mailed off our signed lease to the landlord of our new apartment. It is official now. We know our next address! Vilay couldn’t visit the apartment with me due to work and school. So, he will only see our next home the day we collect the keys! Now if that isn’t trust I [...]

Walk this way…

May 16, 2010

We took an hour walk around the village before lunch. It was a bit chilly outside. We hope that soon it will be warmer. No matter, the walk was still perfect. All images are clickable to view larger. A ant colony that we have watched for three years through all the seasons. It is as [...]

One rainy day in La Chaux-de-fonds

May 11, 2010

Last year, La Chaux-de-fonds and Le Locle received recognition from UNESCO for outstanding universal value. These two cities that almost touch one another were built completely around and for watchmaking. The Musée International d’Horloger is located in La Chaux-de-fonds. We still haven’t visited this museum dedicated to horology. I can’t for the life of me [...]

The end of the snow

April 9, 2010

I took the photos below last week before we left to visit Strasbourg. We took a walk around our village with my Inlaws. The girls were so happy that they could ride their bikes. The snow is all gone now except for some patches here and there at the very top of the mountain. The [...]

March 28, 2010

We have been getting rain the last few days. It doesn’t bother me because it isn’t the freezing cold rain of winter. It is a spring rain. :)

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 [...]

The rest of that walk we took and the one through life that goes to quickly

It is already Sunday! Where did the days from last week scamper off too? I recently realized the girls only have about four more months left of school this year. After summer, M will go on to second grade, C will start first grade and go to the “big school” with her sister and E [...]

Warmer

March 12, 2010

The very next day after my last post (complaining about the freezing weather here) the weather was warmer. It was almost normal. Today, it was still warmer. No wind. I am a happy girl. :) In celebration of the lovely weather, we took a walk today up a little mountain road near our village. It [...]

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 [...]

Baitchai for children

February 18, 2010

The children in our village celebrated Baitchai again this year. They made as much noise as possible at each house until the owner of the house gave them money or candy to go away. :) There weren’t as many participants this year as in the years past due to Baitchai falling on a school break. [...]

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. [...]
