I am feeling pretty sad, because it looks like I won't be able to plant my tomato garden this year. I'm just getting too old to be digging up a garden plot. I know if you were here my troubles would be over. I know you would be happy to dig the plot for me, like in the old days.4 A! U/ s1 L6 B9 ]" h, n

Go ahead and plant the tomatoes now. That's the best I could do under the circumstances.
