    After moving more plants to make room the girls transplanted tomatoes.  They'll still be transplanting tomatoes tomorrow.  We grow lots of tomato plants.  Especially this year.  It seems the high prices and somewhat empty shelves are causing more people to plant gardens.  We grow a lot of our own food because it is more nutritious.  We take good care of our soil.  Speaking of soil, I've been getting calls from people asking where they can get soil, mulch and compost by the truckload.  Maple Lane Farm sells good compost.  Their number is 295-3591.  Eric Hanson, Earthworks of Bradford sells soil and mulch.  His number is 745-8024.

    We will have an Easter egg hunt at one followed by a family dinner. The Andrews are going to hide the eggs this morning.  Jay will pull Violet around in a wagon to hunt for eggs.   Lots of family will bring food but I still have lots to do before church.  May your day be Blessed, Sally
