It cracked me up to find whole shells mixed in with the crushed pieces. We&#8217;ve been doing a few projects around the house the last few weeks so one of the projects was to freshen up the crushed shell in the walkway to the house. Clark bought a few of these bags&#8230;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a title=\"shell walkway bag\" href=\"https:\/\/iloveshelling.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/shell-walkway-bag.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-8950 aligncenter\" title=\"shell walkway bag\" src=\"https:\/\/iloveshelling.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/shell-walkway-bag-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"shell walkway bag\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.iloveshelling.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/shell-walkway-bag-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.iloveshelling.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/shell-walkway-bag.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>So today I opened a bag and spread it along the front porch.
