Thank you for another wonderful blog! I am spring cleaning as well. I do my house as well as my mom's. It takes me a bit longer as I get older, lol. I have my box fans cleaning set for tomorrow. I am about half way done both homes. It does feel good when I am done. I have cut groceries back and made changes as well. I have always eaten more beans or veg than meat, but I cook for my mom, partner and dog so I do buy meats. I try really hard to not run the AC til it is cooler out at night. I keep it cooler at night and shut the doors and blinds to keep the sun out. Thankfully, my house is positioned well and stays cooler than some.I work from home so thankfully I do not have the gas expense like many. I really try to run errands as little as possible and combine them to one day. Great read! Look forward to the next!

I have been thinking, lately, about severe food shortages. Our state had a very warm winter and hardly any snow, which isn't good for the water situation. We rarely get rain in our area of Wyoming. Drought is always a serious situation.

We are going to do gardening in the galvanized cattle tanks, like Donna uses. We purchased five large ones a few years back. Plus, we have thirty very large outside pots for planting. We have raised beds, also, so my husband decided to plant beets, potatoes and zucchini in those this year. Originally, we weren't going to plant the beds due to our age and health, but we feel that the situation warrants a new look. Food might not only be scarce but might not be delivered. If it is delivered, it might end up too expensive to purchase.

Thank you, Donna, for another wonderful post.

I have started Spring Cleaning but since I deep clean one room a week, sometimes more than one if nothing else is going on. My spring cleaning is more windows and baseboards in the rooms used the most.  It seems I am constantly reworking my pantry and deep pantry, so it is usually very clean and tidy. 

The baseboards seem to always need attention because of my pets hair. 

I am definitely cooking less at a time, and I try to waste absolutely nothing. Have seeds started and they are popping up! This makes me so happy to see.

Have been cleaning leaves from the flower and garden beds...so many leaves. It is frustrating to get them all cleaned up and then we get a wind storm and they need cleaned up again. But I just keep going.

Being very careful with fuel usage, the situation is concerning as many family members can't work from home.
