Mud Pie Kitchen

While searching for some ideas on potting sheds and green houses, I came across a post about a mud pie kitchen.

Talk about cool. I am always in the garden and working in the yard so a place for my kids to play and create while I am busy puttering around was a great solution to "I'm bored, can we go inside?"

 I had an old cabinet that has been outside for about 4 years. When I picked it up the back fell off so I added a vent from an old washing machine. We added a spice rack and a small table. I also moved a lavender plant and a cutting of a large oregano plant so they have herbs to pick and "season" their mud pies.

 Here she is hard at work. This keeps both of them busy for hours. It is quite a mess when they are finished but it is SO worth it. If you noticed, I did replace the cheap plastic fence with a metal one. The cheap one kept falling over and looked cheap so when I was moving some flowers around in the yard I took the fence that surrounded them.

Some good mud there. The garden is on the other side of this fence. A great opportunity for them to make some great mud.
At least until the garden is planted!

Fridays are a day of catch up before the weekend starts. So, to keep you coming back I will give you a glimpse of my life in pictures. Enjoy and have a wonderful weekend.

 A broken clock in the ivy. The ivy is growing around the clock creating a really interesting garden feature. I love it.

 The littles working in the garden collecting dirt to make some mud for there mud pie kitchen we built a few weeks ago.

We grow mutant clovers here at the Hippies Cancello micro farm. I found this 6 leaf clover a few days before St. Patrick's Day. Does is have extra luck because of the extra leaves?
