Haha ah yes I can identify with a bunch of things there having a very similar lifestyle in Spain. Thankfully the solar system is totally dependable right now and seems to make more power than we need /use at this time of year.
We occasionally see these lenticular clouds they are very beautiful as you say. Your photos are fabulous I must say. I hope one day you will be installing wind turbines to make the most of your wind, it sóunds powerful enough that you could make all that power you need and sell a load back to the grid as well. Your book sóunds like a great idea. I did the same thing a few years back and lost the almost complete manuscript when a computer failed so do back up that work as you go. 😉❤️🌈🦋🌴💛🍀
