I liked this one.
An old Italian lived alone in New Jersey . He wanted to plant his annual tomato
garden, but it was very difficult
work, as the ground was hard.
His only son, Vincent, who used to help him, was in prison. The old man wrote a
letter to his son and described his predicament:
Dear Vincent,
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.
Love,
Papa
A few days later he received a letter from his son.
Dear Papa,
Don’t dig up that garden. That’s where the bodies are buried.
Love, Vinnie
At 4 a.m. the next morning, FBI agents and local police arrived and dug up the entire area without finding any bodies. They apologized to the old man and left. That same day the old man received another letter from his son.
Dear Papa,
Go ahead and plant the tomatoes now. That’s the best I could do
under the circumstances.
Love you,
Vinnie

Not much to report this morning. Quiet around town, even the wind is calm. Nice morning to sit out soak up a bit of sunshine and enjoy a tea or two. Yesterday I worked up my garden some for the first time. Weeds were starting to show themselves. I sure enjoy working up the soil, let me tell ya. Good time to get the old shirt off too, as you get the sun on all sides. Bug report, have to say I didn’t see one black fly yesterday or mosquito, even the horse flies were taking the day off. OK by me. So far bug wise it hasn’t been a bad year and we can thank the warm weather so early for that. Have a great day my friends.
