Quick snapshot of the front-back yard...

Oh its looking so good in the backyard... snapped some pictures on my way to get kale in the drizzly rain tonight.  Over the tops of the kale and the lush bed of ripening strawberries is Sasha's cob house with its new plaster from the work party back in April(a belated thank you to everyone who helped!)  My favorite is the little nicho in the buttress behind the door...










And here, inside, is the second layer of earthen floor that was done last week with the high school interns and their mothers, complete with tubes laid throughout it to carry solar heated (and maybe occasionally fire heated) water and make the floor cozy and warm.
