The weather is gradually heating up. Today was wonderful at 72 degrees. Just a taste of what is to come when we hit mid to late Spring at home. I am still wearing a light jacket when out as it is cool in the shade.
Sharon had some errands to do so out we went. Dropped into a couple of cute shops for a browse and then to get some necessaries at a grocery store. On a whim, I looked for canned oysters and THEY HAD THEM! $9.99US per can, but bought two cans anyway! On the whole, food prices are high here. Higher than at home and that really surprised me. However, since I haven't seen canned oysters in years in Surrey, I was happy to pay any price to have them.
On our drive to shopping today, it is so beautiful to see the landscape and the beautiful and different cacti. It is so different with the low buildings and the desert colours. All of the housing and shopping has to fit in with the natural landscape...so the signage and facades fit in being low to the ground and earth tones. As you are driving, you can be coming up to a shopping plaza and not even know until you turn in the driveway and then discover the many shops and restaurants hidden there. Not sure if this is all over Arizona or mainly Scottsdale. The thought and planning that went into this area to ensure that every building adheres to this code has really enhanced the overall attractiveness of the whole area.
