I have finally accepted that I love Switzerland.  
I love living here.
It doesn’t mean that I don’t love America or France.  I do.

We have our first snow even if fall just started.
It is coming down in big white flakes.
Beautiful.
Last year, it didn’t snow until November the 9th.  However, I was told by someone that it can snow as early as September.

Today, it is rainy and cold in contrast to Sunday which was sunny and warm.
The following photos will take you from near Le Pied d’Or until Tramelan which was [...]
