Went for a drive with Joanne Sunday night and these are some of the pictures I got. 








This was the army's building when the army base was still up and running many years ago. 

This is the Churchill Airport.

Also known as the Polar Bear Jail. 

The frozen Hudson Bay.

More of the frozen Hudson.





This was the army base.

Meet Sweetie Pie, also known as Baby. I am looking after him these days, or trying to anyways. He doesn't really like me. He is a very nice looking cat and I wouldn't mind if he wanted to cuddle but instead he'd rather stay from me or try to take me down. I know he looks harmless in these pictures but don't let his looks fool you.... 




Yes spring is coming to Churchill! Everything is starting to melt. I've been told that there should be a few more blizzards coming this way and probably for sure one during the May long weekend. But for sure I'm just gonna ignore those comments and take in the sun. 




Its been nice enough to open up the windows in the last couple of days. Even when its -20 with the wind chill its still nice enough to open windows. Once you have experienced -56 and 85 km/h winds -20 with the sun feels balmy haha.

This is my favorite room in Churchil. This is Back Porch Music. It is a music store owned by Terry and Joanne. This is also were I take my fiddle lessons. This room is attached to Terry and Joanne's house. I love the look of the place and its a nice cozy room. Its a good place to sit and learn to play the fiddle!




These are sled dogs, they were hanging out at the Seaport the other day. The day before I took these pictures we took the kids for a walk and the dogs were out then too. They were being fed by the owners, and the dogs were jumping around and howling. Two of them were mad at each other and were bearing their teeth at each other, it was pretty entertaining!




These are the slippers I custom ordered from the Trading post. The fur is rabbit and the polar bears are made from Caribou hair which is known as Caribou tufting. I love my new slipper, they are super warm and comfy!
