between the storms

Yesterday afternoon we had high winds and then driving rain, so it was an inside kind of day. For weeks now I’ve been cleaning and sorting everything in the shed, the house, the outbuildings and the yard. The last two years have been a blur of collecting materials and building, so it feels good to take a break from those two activities to sort and assess what I have, and figure out what I still need going into this next build year.

By first light this morning though, the winds and rain had subsided so Jasper and I went out to explore some of the human forgotten parts of the island within walking distance from our place. I collected many interesting specimens, made a few medleys, and took lots of short videos. One of my winter projects is to begin a YouTube channel of short nature videos showing my process. Hopefully it’ll debut early in the new year, stay tuned!
