I have them too, though some people call them Surprise Lilies, but our title is much more colorful!<br /><br />I did receive your atc and tag in the mail. Lovely card and envelope too! I will share them on my blog if that's ok with you. Love the sparkly winter atc! happy T day! ♥Diannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09657202600364368434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3361928295722812930.post-78341892079394876262015-08-11T08:48:56.116-07:002015-08-11T08:48:56.116-07:00I've heard of using the skins to make a thick...I've heard of using the skins to make a thicker tomato sauce but never to dry them for a powder. Makes total sense to me though.

We have turtles too and have seen a tree frog in one of our bluebird houses a few years ago.

Pretty awesome and nothing is wasted.<br /><br />Tree frogs and turtles. How much fun it must be to live where you are.<br /><br />I remember drinking those green smoothies when I was in CA. I like them, but I still think they taste like grass. They were definitely good with my morning coffee.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing your flowers, your canned tomatoes, your tomato skins tip, and your smoothie with us for T this Tuesday. Glad your life is back to normal this week.Bleubeard and Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10149710375520733752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3361928295722812930.post-9123202505644019572015-08-10T19:19:03.274-07:002015-08-10T19:19:03.274-07:00Frog in a bird house..?
