Ewwww, say what?

So long story short there's a placenta in my freezer.

One of the many gory details of giving birth at home is making decisions about things like placenta.  I won't go into detail here about the many things people do with it these days, but I chose to save it in the freezer with plans to bury it under a tree.
The placenta (is it making you uncomfortable that I keep saying it?) holds the striking image of a tree and is called the Tree of Life in many cultures.  It just seemed fitting.

Honeycrisp apple, may you live a long and healthy life in our orchard and someday bear nine pound fruit.
