Autumn colors

The vineyard and the mountains surroundings took magnificent autumnal colors. We still have beautiful sunny days, but it’s fast cold as soon as the night comes. The first frosts made their appearance.

And this fly who hoped to spend the winter in the warmth with us takes big risks…

Long weekend

Yesterday, it was Federal Day of Thanksgiving, Repentance and Prayer. Monday is holiday too in the part of Switzerland where we live, and Claire and Momo took advantage of it to sort out in the house.

They reviewed every room high and low to pursue the out-of-service, cumbersome or useless objects. They filled two garbage bags, and objects in good condition will be given to their friends : teapot, small table, scarf, … First come, first served !

We helped them to inspect the last hidden recesses of the attic to be sure that they had forgotten nothing.

They then went to harvest pumpkins in the garden. Claire loves pumpkin soup, but if you have other recipes, she’s interested !

Happy birthday Switzerland !

Today, it’s the National Day here. Flags, brunch, and fireworks are on the program. We recommend to all our Swiss furry friends to stay inside and quiet during evening.

It’s a feast day, and that’s good : our friends of
Critters in the Cottage invited us to show eight photos of happiness on our blog. If you want to join the fun, just do it, and link on this post. Everybody is invited to participate !
