Song thrush eggshell I think. Big one, and a beauty. Sadly it didn't hatch. Judging by the careful hole made in the shell the other side, this one was broken into and eaten. :(

There's some dude (derogatory) on FB who is PISSED people are pricing their farm fresh eggs at $2 and $3 a dozen instead of $4+, saying it's "disrespectful" and "undignified" and "I'm trying to feed my kids" like Sir, you are on a Facebook group page bitching about your neighbors egg prices because your pet chickens aren't earning you a living wage and you think it's your neighbors' fault, you do not have a leg to stand on here wrt dignity.
Also half the answers are like "I give them to friends and family free" or "I donate them to food banks" or "I'm making them affordable to folks who might not otherwise be able to get them now that they're so expensive in the store" and "if you think you're going to turn a profit keeping backyard chickens you have been wildly misled" and so on, and so forth, and I'm so living for it.
and I can tell you right now, he did NOT like my answer of "if you're trying to feed your kids, I hear eggs are edible."

Ukrainian Pysanky
Various Easter celebrations and fun activities revolve around eggs. Ancient people must have been amazed to see a new living creature emerge from a seemingly dead object.

So I was a little behind in celebrating Ostara this year, but today I finally did something with those old eggs I had in my fridge. I emptied them out and washed them, baked them for 4 minutes at 250 degrees, and then blended them up into a semi-coarse powder.
The universe has a way of keeping me on schedule though, as I actually had some trees for my yard planted 4 days prior to Ostara, so they would have gotten comfortable and started growing around that time. Funny how things work out!
I hope everyone is having a good start to spring and had a wonderful time celebrating Ostara. I'll be looking forward to the energy from the planetary alignment next (3/25-3/30). It starts tonight, but the best time to see the planets will be after sunset on 3/27 and 3/28, but they'll only be around for a few minutes, so set a timer!
