It certainly feels like it this morning, beautiful blue sky with not a cloud in sight. No wind so a beautiful Spring morning it is. I have daffodils and primroses blooming in the garden, the buds on the Lenten Rose are almost ready to burst open. So guess where I am going to be this afternoon, the dusting and cleaning will be done tomorrow when we have been forecast rain.
Groceries this morning, the shelves in many departments are beginning to look bare. No chickens again today, we have farms being culled of the fowl due to the Avian Flu. The cereal aisle is getting less and less every week. Even the veg department had a sign which indicated store was having problems getting the veg. Some of the prepared packages of rice and pasta were empty, but must note, these items were on special this week. Some of the dairy products were not there either. To top it all off the bill was higher than it normally is, however, I did get a couple of items that put the tab up a little. We feel so sorry for those people who are on a low income, as wonder how they cope with the rising prices. Lots of families asre having to go to the food banks to get food to last until the next pay cheque comes in. Very thankful we have no issues regarding that, and we are able to contribute to the food bank.
Finished my wreath for my sewing room door, will take a photo and post it either later today or if not tomorrow.
No sure what we will have for dinner tonight.
So now it is lunch time and then I am outside for the rest of the day, or until I feel I cannot do any more.
I haven't noticed any shortages here. It must be a local (to you) problem. But the prices are a bit ridiculous. I haven't bought an avocado in ages as they are almost $2 each here!
