Johnny Appleseed!
Apples · Fall · Johnny Appleseed · September
I can’t believe September is here! I stepped outside the other day and was SHOCKED to see leaves changing colors and falling on the ground! When did this happen? Temperatures are still in the 90s! I feel like the leaves started changing overnight. It is September though, and that means autumn will be here before we know it. With autumn comes Johnny Appleseed!
