PostHeaderIcon Mud between your toes

This week at our home school group we helped one of the mom’s start build a cob playhouse. Cob building is a very old method of mixing clay, sand and straw to make walls for a structure. It was so nice to be outside in the sun now that the weather is getting warmer. The kids were running around playing in the fresh air and came and went during the whole process helping as they felt like it. I can’t actually remember the last time I had mud between my toes and it really did feel good.
