Hello everybody, the time has come..
Theresa and I are moving to Churchill, Manitoba for six months. We both agree that the toughest part of this move will be the shift in climate, as Sioux Lookout bakes in the heat of summer, Churchill is still struggling to make it past the freezing point. However, what we lose in warmth we gain in daylight, and we are both looking forward to seeing our furry white friends again, and of course our swimming relatives in the shallows of Hudson Bay and the Churchill River.
We have already left Sioux, but wont arrive in Churchill for a few days yet, so I guess we are temporarily homeless. Sioux is still very close to our hearts and we'd like to share some of our memories of the wonderful spring we had this year...

Has anyone eaten marigolds? The entire plant is edible, it makes a great addition to a salad.
