HOME RUN!...you just knocked it out of the park kid. Man, I want that apple tree too. You write of things we all have felt, but never could communicate so well. God your good girl. Bless you -Michael

This is very well written with a smooth flow of words, making for a wonderful read. Fond childhood memories should be safely storied away. Good luck in your contest.

You have found your place in writing short stories. You are super excellent at that and this one is no exception. When I am down I look at all the beautiful life around me that God has created. Sometime I need to look really hard, but it's there. Good luck with the contest.

Nice short story that fulfills the requirements well. Love how you started with books, kittens and under the tree. Then your dream got shattered unfortunately by several things. Lovely ending too.

This is beautiful girl. It takes one back to a childhood time when everything was perfect. When life happen beneath the honey tree bees. Sigh, so wonderful.

    Ah, my poetess! Thank you Miss C! It wasn't perfect tho, for me...but when I was in the apple trees, with just the kittens and a good book, I really was happy. I guess some of us are just daydreamers...I really am so very glad you liked this. HUG! Your approval means a lot to me Little Flutterby. xoxo. Susan

Be at peace, Suse. The past is past. Despite a difficult youth, you are loved now. The apple trees will blossom soon and the kittens will want to play. No, the bees never sting me either. They recognize pure hearts and loving intentions. Hugs. :) Nancy
