I was giddy‚ like a five year old practically hopping up and down in my seat.

When it is cut horizontally‚ the little pit where the seeds are kept is in the shape of a star and feels like thin cardboard. There were five seeds‚ all dark brown and shaped like a raindrop.

**The hydrologic cycle begins with the evaporation of water from the surface of the ocean. As moist air is lifted‚ it cools and water vapor condenses to form clouds. Moisture is transported around the globe until it returns to the surface as precipitation. Once the water reaches the ground‚ one of two processes may occur; 1) some of the water may evaporate back into the atmosphere or 2) the water may penetrate the surface and become groundwater. Groundwater either seeps its way to into the oceans
