I think that there may be as many stars right here on Earth as there are in our galaxy, The Milky Way. These stars are hidden from everyday, ordinary viewing, which makes discovering them so delightful.
The star in today's picture is the center of this apple's universe. Cut any apple through the middle and you'll find a star, too.
Just think, true to its core, each tiny seed has the power to produce a full-sized apple tree, that eventually could produce four or more bushels of apples a year, with a star for each apple's heart! If that isn't something amazing, I don't know what is.
Ohio's countryside is dotted with apple orchards, from large commercial operations to smaller hobby ones, like ours. We have John Chapman's vision to thank for our bounty. Chapman, aka "Johnny Appleseed" spent a great deal of time establishing Ohio's first orchards. His legend is alive today in the heart of the fruits he loved best, making him a true Star of the Orchard.
