These are the first apricots off of our tree this season! It's hard to believe it is Memorial Day weekend already--where did the last three months go? Well I know where the time went, it passed as we mostly stayed home, and we will probably do the same this weekend as well. Even though many places are opening up in Las Vegas--except casinos which will happen in a week or so--we really don't want to be out at the locals lakes and parks and mountains with tens of thousands of other people who are eager to escape from their homes after months of being stuck there. One local park said they are limiting the number of people there to 2000(!). On a side note, I got an email today that said I was qualified to get unemployment so I will be filing every week for the duration of what would have been my six-week work gig. Hopefully it works out--all of that extra money, including the additional $600 per week from the CARES Act, will get our car paid off within a few weeks!
I don't believe it is safe out yet. However, people required to stay in their homes seems rather harsh. I love apricots. Nothing in my yard yields stuff to eat. Well, I am planting vegetables. At least, at my house there were scuppernong and hickory nuts. Hey, it is great you got the unemployment. I think lots of people are worried about theirs.
ReplyDeleteThat's great you are growing vegetables! I wish we could grow something here but it will be 110 degrees next week which pretty much kills the growing season unfortunately...
DeleteExcellent use of your unemployment benefits - that's what you would have used your wages for anyway!
ReplyDeleteExactly! I was definitely going to put every penny of my earnings to get rid of the debt. While I would much rather be working this summer, being able to pay off the car one way or the other is the goal.
