We have tomatoes coming out of our ears this year! Somehow the plants are all over our yard. All around the house and around the shed. They just keep coming up each year. And in more places. I have one tied up in the back of the house and it has taken over the back porch. Pretty good for some privacy though. It stands about 7 feet tall. Nothing else is taking off though. :( My Little Man's lemon trees and green peppers are doing good. They are in buckets. But, these tomatoes are driving me crazy. I have even cut down a few of them around the shed a couple of times - THEY JUST COME BACK! ZOMBIE TOMATOES!
Salsa will be made soon!!

How To Clean A Fish - New Tool Needing to Learn!
The one thing that I love about spring , summer, and fall is that we get chances to go fishing. We are planning on going again in a couple of weeks so that My mom and sister-in-law can teach me how to clean fish. I can fish all day long and catch tons of fish , but I don't know how to clean them. What if hubby wasn't around, etc.
One of my favorite phrases that my grandpa always said was "give a man a fish and you feed him for a day, but teach him how to fish and feed him for a lifetime."
I have found some great videos on Youtube showing how. I have been watching them to get myself ready for them to teach me. It doesn't look hard. I have always just had others around me that would grab the fish, clean and cook it. I need to learn how to do it myself. We all need to learn things now - before it gets too late.

It felt good to go out and work in the yard and not end up with a ton of bites. I am the one in the family that is always getting bit. Everyone around me not having one bug bother them, I go into house after being out and am covered in bites. I feel so much better wearing something that is not bad for everyone, like spray is.

Homemade Blueberry Fruit Rollups!
A neighbor gave me about 10 cups of blueberries Yesterday and I thanked them , then started to wonder what I would do with them. Luckily hubby is home on vacation , because he said to make some fruit leather with them. Something that we all would like and it would keep longer. Maybe. So I got them all cleaned up and put into the blender. I used the recipe that I seen on Youtube by the TheRecipeDude. Very easy to do! I took the picture when I checked it after about 4 hours. I think that It will take about another 4 -5 hours. I have 2 fruit leather trays. Used 2 cups of blueberries per tray. I still have 6 cups of blueberries to make into leather. The first tray I made for this had some strawberries thrown into it. Wonder which tray will taste the best??
