"Keep me as the apple of Your eye." Psalm 17:8a

This is "apple month" and our older son asked if we could make today a Johnny appleseed day! Sure, why not?
We learned about Johnny Appleseed, born John Chapman, who was a pioneer, missionary, and gardener. He planted millions of apple trees during his lifetime (1774-1845).
John Chapman's work was important to the new settlers moving West after the American Revolution - apples were a staple to many families.
Then we enjoyed an apple pastry that just happened to be on hand.Mmmm
Making fresh apple juice:
From the juicer straight to the glass:
How does fresh pressed juice taste?
The verdict is: "Yummy!"
Older brother's turn slicing on his own:
Fresh cut apple slices down the chute:
One apple's juices poured into a cup:
Excited to see if he likes it:
Taste test: Approved!
Cheers!
