I’m ready to tackle the weekend with as much gusto as my hardworking livestock guardians, Harry and Nora!
We had exciting weather last night - confirmed tornado clouds about 30 miles west of us, heading our way. We had movie tickets to see Aladdin about 30 miles east of us, so we went on with our plans. Great movie, by the way! Will Smith was amazing and I loved the added message of female empowerment! #girlmomlife .
I saw pictures of funnel clouds not too far from us, but haven’t heard of any damage. All is well on our little homestead, but tornados need to buzz on out of here. They are quite scary.
Anyhow - big weekend gardening ahead. I’ve made some progress in my garden but there is still so much planting, mulching, staking, and weeding left to do. Hopefully the weather will cooperate and we’ll finally gitrdone!
Have a great weekend!!! Anyone have exciting plans for Memorial Day Weekend?!

For some reason this reminds me of The Breakfast Club (mostly as an excuse to start singing “DoN’t yooouuuu, forget Ah-bout me...”) .....yeah, so anyways.

What to do with eggs shells after you’ve made a fantastic meal... .
.
Well, after you take a picture of them did you know you can crush them and mix them in your garden? Egg shells are jammed packed with calcium and when you add them back to your garden your helping your plants (all kinds) get some extra calcium they need to remain healthy. .
.
Don’t want to buy little containers to start seedlings? Just stuff your shells with soil and seeds! When they’re ready to plant just plant the shel with the started plant .
.
You can also crush them and give them back to your chickens for extra calcium. This can be used in place of oyster shells. The shells are free and come in a rainbow of colors! .
.
Or just toss those pretty shells back into your compost pile. They’ll break down and add calcium to your mulch for later use. .
.
I definitely don’t recommend putting them in the garbage disposal. They make quite the plug! Just ask my husband.......

Welcome to the long weekend! I hope everyone enjoys this unofficial start to the summer season. I have so many things I want to get done. I’m thinking a list might be in order or I’m bound to get sidetracked. What do you have planned?

How many goats can fit on the table before mama gets feisty and the siblings start humping each other?
