our seedling class often takes daily trips to the sweet little garden belonging to the T.R.R. Cobb House to play, they like to call it the "secret garden". It's such a treat to have such a historic treasure in our neighborhood and our little class has observed and talked a lot about the Cobb House while playing in its garden, often referring to it as the "pink house". They have found fig and pomegranate trees in its side garden, friendly faces waving from inside, & "swirly"glass in its windows. a recent window repair has even prompted a lot of curiousity about what the inside of the house looks like, so we reached out to their Program Director, Terrell Austin, to see if our Seedling Class could have an abbreviated tour of the house and to get a sneek peek at the window repair from the inside of the house. So on a recent Monday, we walked over for the tour......
on the way over, we spotted the workers on scaffolding repairing the window....
we entered through the grand front door.....and were greeted by Ms. Austin, who began the tour by showing us the Cobb Family Tree.
we saw so many beautiful and useful things that the Cobb family used in their daily lives....
we really loved seeing the sugar nippers and sugar cabinet that always remained locked for safe keeping.....
and finally we ventured upstairs to see the window repair that we had been watching from the garden...and we got to meet the friendly carpenters as an extra treat!
and we had a great time.....thank you T.R.R. Cobb House Staff & Ms. Austin!!
