Well, I think I’m going to retire this blog.
It hasn’t gotten much attention in the past year, as I’ve shifted most of my attention to The Year of Mud, and soon, The House That Millet Built. Those two are more than enough to keep me occupied, as far as the personal blogging is concerned. Plus [...]

Wildflowers
The fields are filled with yellow and white and pink and purple with all of the different wildflowers that have come into bloom recently. It’s a wonder to walk about and take witness to all that happens out on the prairie. It’s a good time of year.

I moved into my cob house
The big news of the moment is that I’ve moved into my cob house! I’ve been a little lax about writing here lately, but trust me, I’ve been busy on the offline side of things… Check out The Year of Mud for more!

Food Forests, Pizza Ovens, and Rooftop Strawberries

Dancing Rabbit Ecovillage and humanure on The Daily Show
A day or two later after A Kid Off The Grid aired on Nickelodeon, The Daily Show took notice. We were excerpted in a segment with Lewis Black making some funny commentary about our use of the humanure system (”pooping in buckets”). They didn’t use our name, so most people will probably never know just [...]
A Kid Off The Grid: Dancing Rabbit Ecovillage on Nick News TV

How to build a recycled pallet compost bin
Oftentimes, people here at Dancing Rabbit build compost bins out of recycled shipping pallets for their gardens. Shipping pallets can be had for free from many sources – stores, warehouses… anywhere and everywhere that receives large shipments.
They are easy to build and cost next to nothing. You can make a very simple three-sided design or [...]
Spring creeps closer
Spring is creeping closer to reality. Green grass is starting to poke through the soil, and today we had our first major thunderstorm and flash flood of the season. The creek to the north of the village went way over its banks, and our neighbor’s pasture is now totally flooded. I’ve never actually seen it [...]
