Lack of updates here lately, yes. Power has been a bit low this week, preventing any extended computer usage. However, I was able to finish the latest episode of Dancing Rabbit TV last weekend, before a stretch of long, cloudy days. Unfortunately, I must re-render the video before I make it available on YouTube and Revver, which means I need to wait it out until the next sunny day, probably not for another day or two.
Relationship to energy and power (electricity, that is) is a defining element of everyday life here, especially during winter. It may seem obvious to say that you become much more aware of your power usage living here at DR, but it’s worth stating nevertheless. Even when there is enough power to use the lights in the grain bin, for example, I usually go for lighting a candle or two first.
Anyway, this latest DRTV video has been one of the most enjoyable ones to edit. It’s more personal than the first four, and more of an actual documentary. I would not classify the others as “short documentaries”, but this one, I might. That makes me happy, in a way.
Other than that, the past few weeks have been filled with meetings (our annual retreat, which was comprised of six days straight of meetings, was two weeks ago), reading books, knitting, and making little house sketches and designs. (More on that another time.)
So it goes.
