Juan here, reporting on another week of happenings at Dancing Rabbit. I have one word of advice for those of you who are thinking about planning your wedding - delegate. After the whirlwind that was the 16th, Amy and I found ourselves incapable of even the simplest tasks. This wasn't helped by the fact that it took us several days to eat through most of the leftovers.

However, others had less trouble getting a lot done this week. As the temperature drops, the race to have a warm space before winter is well underway. Ironweed is engaged in heavy renovations of Tamar's house, and work is advancing steadily despite the chilly, cloudy weather.

Tony B and Alyssa began filling in the walls of their home-to-be. The process involved putting straw into liquid clay and drying it into bricks of a sort. Their house is subsequently moving along at a quick pace; at the rate they're going, they should have a nice home before it gets too cold out.

Our September visitor group is here. After the small group we had in August, I found it a little overwhelming to have more than ten extra people here, especially since they started arriving two days after the wedding. Nevertheless, they're a good bunch, and I'm looking forward to getting to know them better over the next weeks of their visit.

Preparations are also in full swing for our yearly Open House, which will be held this year on September 30 from 1pm to 4pm. All are encouraged to stop by, get a tour, and ask all those burning questions I'm sure you have. See you there.
