Eggs

I was at the grocery store last week to buy some eggs.  I just couldn't do it.  For 18 eggs the cost was between $6 and $7. I'm wondering if something has happened in the world to cause the jump in price. We don't watch the news.  We went to Costco today and purchased these eggs for $4.99. As we were driving home Dell googled eggs in California.  The increase in price is because the law is now chickens in California have to have enough room in their living conditions to be able to spread their wings. I think it was 114 square inches. That means fewer chickens or farmers have to make bigger areas.  This is crazy.  It is already expensive here,  it's going to get worse. 
On the brighter side,  this is a huge bush that I passed walking yesterday. The flowers are large. We continue to be amazed with the vegetation here.  There are many trees that are blossoming with white blossoms.  We'll wait and see what comes next.

  1. My goodness... one of the reasons I love eggs is because they are so cheap. Yikes
