Happy Fall! It's APPLE Time

Hey Fall Dolls!

This is my favorite time of year.

It's starting to get colder,

 the leaves are starting

 to change.

I love all the flavors,

 colors, and foods of FALL

It's apple season.

Our family goes to the

 apple orchard every year.

I love to make pies,

 apple sauce, apple crisps etc...
