 Foraging Squirrels

What Have You Noticed?

Out shopping recently, two things caught my attention. 

Old news update. The size of soup cans has become even smaller. They are hideously small. I’m not going to name brands. Product smaller volumes at the same price or higher is called shrinkflation. I believe if cans are made smaller, then more folks might start making soup from scratch. 

Christmas ornaments at the local Dollar General store this year don’t appear to be as plentiful and varied as last year. There’s plenty of gift wrap paper and gift bags though. I’m thinking importing cheaper ornaments from overseas might be the problem. 

I bought one can of soup and the last 4 bottle brush tree ornaments. As a kid, bottle brush trees fascinated me. 

What changes have you noticed lately? 

Day 47 of Week 46 November 2025

Has this week been interesting for y’all? 

Your day going well? 

Coffee today is much too strong because I used the wrong measuring cup. Pour some out and add hot water is an easy adjustment. Adding International coffee mix, Suisse Mocha, helps as well. 

One afternoon this week was given up to a power nap. Stress for me, and I think many others,  can be as exhausting as a strenuous hike. The issue with naps is that they can take too much of my energy and time away. 

 Have a Stress Free Weekend!
