So it is true after all


Germinating apple seed_1

Ever since I was told as a little kid that if I ate an apple core, an apple tree would grow inside of me, I've eaten the cores of green apples (the cores of red apples are black on the inside - taste fine but look ick).

Yesterday, while I was munching away on a tasty granny smith apple, I happened to see this little seed.

I didn't eat it. Perhaps I should have. A tree in me would have been pretty cool.

I wonder if it would turn you into an Ent?

There is of course that possibility. I would probably be one of the hasty ones, too.
