Wordy Wednesday: Canning Tomatoes
Today I have been canning tomatoes. Let me just say that I have not canned in years. I had just about forgotten how to can. I did some internet reading first to refresh my memory.
I still have some tomatoes jars cooking, but if I remember correctly, so far I have canned 9 pints of petite diced tomatoes and 5 pints of salsa. I enjoy eating fresh and canned foods so I hope to do more of this in the future.
Pick Your Own is a great website for finding information on places to pick product in your area and it also has information on canning tomatoes, recipes, and more.
Have you canned anything this year?

Wordy Wednesday: From My Yard
We purchased our home less than a year ago. During this time, we have thoroughly enjoyed watching the flowers and plants arrive during different times of the year. It seems as though when one plant becomes dormant, another blooms.
Here are a few recent pictures from my yard.
I’ve been trying to figure out the name of this one. According to some googling, it appears to be an Agastache Blue Fortune. If that is incorrect, please let me know. Thanks.
Beautiful Phlox. All of the plants and flowers in my yard are low maintenance, which is a definite plus for me!
I have always thought these were Black Eyed Susans but when I was looking on a website today, they had these listed as Redbeckia Goldsturm. Perhaps that is the proper name for them. Are these Black Eyed Susans to you?
This is a low growing creeper and looks great around the rock border. It looks like this through nearly the entire year. I would like to have more of this plant, so I would appreciate anyone helping me to identify it.
Happy Wednesday!

Wordy Wednesday: My Favorite Sign
I know that this is supposed to be a Wordless Wednesday, but who can just post a picture and leave it at that? I know I can’t. 
The 75% off clearance sign at Target is one of my favorite signs. When I see it, I get a bit happy inside. It’s hard to describe how it makes me feel. When I see it, I am suddenly expecting a wonderful deal. I am willing to search through racks of clothing for the children’s sizes I need.
I don’t get to visit Target as often as I used to (due to location), but I still enjoy that sign.
Do you have a Wordless Wednesday post? Feel free to link up in the comments.
