Alright, that might sound bizarre, but that is a classic example of free association thanks to today’s daily prompt.
So first things which to my mind when I hear (okay here read):
home: sleep, laze around, computer, mother (yeah really!) and scratching wherever I want freely 
(quite true isn’t it?)
soil: mud (pardon my lack of imagination at times)
rain: smell of mud, walking, hiking
And as the title says, I did sleep on the mud in the countryside and mountains quite a few times. You should try it, away from our monotonous lives, really bliss.
Love the lion pic! I’m a leo and love all things lions <3 Blessings~
Are you really advocating for sleeping in the mud? I’ve slept outdoors plenty of times in the mountains but not once have I slept in the mud. Seems, well, messy.
No I didn’t literally mean it friend, just metaphorically for being outside
I, too, have slept in the mud. Well said.
