| We love living in the desert. Rhiannon and I were both ashamed we had never harvested the prickly pears which grow in our area. They are ripe for the picking so we decided to do our Arizonan duty and gather some to make some truly Arizonan fare. |
 |
| Being that prickly pears are named "prickly" for reason, you need to pick them with tongs. Here you can see Declan being a great big brother by stopping Zanyzley's little hands from incorrect tong usage. |
 |
| Rhi adds a fruit to our haul. We had a terrific storm two days before this and the water is still hanging about. |

Poor Baby Z hasn't yet honed her desert rat skills. Rule number 1: "Always look were you put your foot"
