We hit the ground running since our return from Hawaii. We had TONS of tasks to do. The first day back was spent making our "convenience foods". I had used up mostly everything prior to the trip so many items needed to be made again or prep work to make something else. Here's what we made or prepared when we got back.
- 2 Loaves of bread
- Pancake Mix
- Muffin Mix
- Ground Coffee
- Ground Wheat for the bread
- Soaked beans (needed for the next nights meal.)
- Raspberry Jam
- Bug spray for the garden varmits.
- Dehydrated raspberry & clover leaves for tea.
We came home to a TON of raspberries. Our sweet friends (Thank you Shaffers!) picked them while we were gone but the task is huge and was far from complete since the growing season isn't over yet.
This is not even half of what I've made over the last week...Next on the list was the COB Structure. COB is a mix of sand, straw & earth. We are wanting to attempt a COB structure. Soooo, it's official, we broke ground! Here's some pics.
Due to rules and regulations this structure will be very small, less than 200 sq. ft. A great starting point for getting our feet wet and learning about building with COB.
Dusty lookin' happy! It's like 98 degrees outside and he's doing this by hand. He is digging for the foundation...Frost line is 2 ft. so he has to dig down to the frost line. SUMMER COB PROJECT TO BE CONTINUED....

LOVE it!!!! Great update, good work.
What are you planning to do with the cob building once its up and ready?
I have a few other questions, too...but I'll just have to wait until we can get together.
Glad you're home!
