Sea Shell Sand

Another drizzly day.  We started out by hitting all of the garage sales.  I found a nice basket for $1.00 and the boys each found a small item but that was about it.  It was too rainy to work on the new row, so since it was low tide I went to the beach and collected sea shell sand.  I have a favorite little tiny spot that keeps me supplied with all that I need for the garden and the ducks. 




Sometimes there are large pieces on top, but once you scrape them away it's all fine.


I can't believe how much of this stuff the ducks eat.  I figure they've consumed about 25 gallons so far this season. 

It's kind of a trek up to the car.  The rocks were slippery from the rain - I fell once but caught myself and only spilled a small amount so I'm happy.


It was a busy afternoon at the house.  People dropped in for this and that.  Everyone is starting to get hungry for fresh green stuff to eat!  I have one more trip to do and then I plan to open up for business on June 18.
