In my part of Nebraska, the entire house was sod due to lack of timber. We used to play in the one at my uncle’s farm. The inside walls were white-washed, and it was as solid as a rock! Now it is preserved at a museum in Gering, Nebraska.
Good puzzle or calendar picture, I think! I am reading through the “Little House on the Prairie” books for fun! And there is lots to learn about living in a soddy – at one point a reckless bull was on top of the soddy and one of his legs poked thru!

Even the old bunkhouse loves all the rain…
Do you ever need to add more soil & seed?
Love this, wonderful. Thanks.
Look how tight those walls are.

What stories this bunkhouse must be holding. A photo that makes you stop and think of times gone by.
