New baby ♥ and other little ones...

 My sister, Mary, had a baby on Wednesday August 8th...she and her husband Andrey named her Elizabeth.  She was 7 pounds and 12 ounces.  We saw her on Skype yesterday, less than 24 hours old and she put her thumb in her mouth on her own.  We hope to go to Canada and meet her soon. ♥
 Trader Joe's fluit floes...Caribbean, coconut and strawberry are the best!  Just $1.99 for a box of 4.
 Water balloons with friends on a hot day!
Above, very sad little guy after a water balloon popped on him, just a little afterwards, in a dry shirt on the tire swing that Rob made, and he is happy again...
Do you have purslane growing in your backyard?  We have a lot.  I'd been pulling it up as a weed and found out that this green is edible and very good for you...loaded with omega-3 fatty acids!  So we're eating it today for lunch!!!

My favorite thing in our backyard garden this year are the huge yellow tomatoes, called King of Siberia.  We got the seeds last year at Baker Creek in Missouri.  The tomatoes taste scrumptious!
 Three purple girls...it was a pure coincidence that they all wore purple dresses!

    Thanks for the tips regarding the TJ's pops -- I love anything coconut -- and the Yellow Siberian! I used to grow my own tomatoes from seed and I think I could do it again....

    Such great pictures! Love the purple girls. :-) Thanks for stopping in at Cranberry Morning! I thought it was so cool, too, when I saw that it was a woman driving that huge rig - but why shouldn't she be - and her little girl getting used to all that huge machinery.

    BEAUTIFUL baby photo, btw.

    Those tomatoes are staggering! Almost as pretty as the purple trio and that dear wee babe :-)
