Amish Envy Club gets muddy

It was the third meeting of the Amish Envy Club this past Saturday. We had a glorious May day to transform the NeskeMoen back yard from patchy grass to....mud. But the gardens are bordered, the new grass seed is getting ready to sprout, and we even raised a trellis. We are still a long way from raising a barn. By the end of the day I was exhausted, a bit from the sun, the wind, and the work, but mostly from the laughs. The kids spent the morning by walking over to Como zoo (with some supervision of course) and the afternoon playing in the mud (without much supervision). They found giant nightcrawlers, creepy white grubs, and lots and lots of mud. They couldn't have been happier.
