A good weekend

A lovely meal

By mid-afternoon Saturday it was clearly time to get outdoors for some fresh air and exercise. Not too cold (temp. Around 0), thin cloud cover and only a gentle wind blowing. Perfect. So, wearing sunglasses, our trusty Baffin rubber boots and wind-breaking jackets and carrying cameras, binoculars, and bear spray we set off, dog in toe. To an experienced northerner the bear spray would
probably seem odd and unnecessary. To me it seems easier than a rifle, which I don't have. I'm much too new in the north to be anything but cautious. my imagination has me expecting to see a polar bear cresting each hill or wolf peaking around from behind each rocky slope. I'm told neither will happen. But apparently I need time to come to this conclusion on my own. (More on wildlife in and around Kimmirut in a future post.)
Sat. night Bill got a call from Sammy, from whom we get wonderful clean spring water, who had just shot 4 geese and would we like one. The last three photos here are the answer.
It must be quite clear that I am learning as I go along here and am doing this the hard way. Hence photos appearing before test, and other problems that might not be quite so evident but are taking up
lots of my time and patience. Apparently I need an ap to do this. Fools rush in...
At any rate I'm going to try to dispatch this now (apologies if it's a bit odd-looking) and resume my blog via my new ap. wish me luck.
