Hello, neighbors and friends. This is Andrew updating you on the past week's happenings here at Dancing Rabbit.

This week we had our final "Big Viz" session for the year, hosting visitors Derek, Jessica, Steve, Skyler, Pam and Will. They stayed with us for about a week and we really enjoyed their enthusiasm and help.

Several of us have been hard at work over at Sandhill Farm lately, helping with their sorghum harvest. I wish I could have gone, too, but I've been preoccupied here in the village. Speaking of harvest, fried green tomatoes have been on the menu this week, as folks tried to get one last harvest before the frost. And lots of apples have been enjoyed by all, brought back by folks who have gone to help with the harvesting in nearby orchards.

On Monday we had an "Art Night" to get together and express ourselves through art. Also on Monday, some folks attended the Rutledge Square Dance. And there was more dancing on Wednesday when a few Rabbits went to Kirksville for Swing dancing. On Saturday a group of Nathan's friends with eclectic international origins visited us. We hung out in the Common House for a while playing card games, and then ended up on the giant trampoline talking and laughing late into the night. And on Sunday evening there was even more dancing, with a few folks doing Swing dancing in Skyhouse, and others going more freestyle in the Common House. Me and my two left feet just played UNO in the kitchen. Well, that's all I can think to write about for this week. Take care!

P.S. - If anyone has a full-sized bed they want to get rid of, we could use one. Thanks!
