Saguaro (pronounced suh-wahr-oh)

Becca came over and harvested the fruit off of our saguaros.  Did you know it takes 75 years of growing before a saguaro grows a side arm?  They can live for over 150 years!  The Tohono O'odham tribe used to get fat on the fruit.

A bird has gotten fat on this saguaro fruit.

The fruit is delicious.  Very slightly sweet with tiny black crunchy seeds inside.

Unicorns Eat Pretzels

A couple of things Sylvia taught me yesterday... Unicorns eat pretzels for breakfast.

You can make a dress with fabric, scissors and painter's tape.

Sylvia made this dress for Hazel while I was having an afternoon snooze.

Inexpensive, Safe, Easy-to-Clean Paint

Cornstarch, food coloring, and water = my favorite paint.  It's cheap, safe and easy to clean up.  I know I need it to be the way Sylvia uses it :)
