Sometimes the kids from here, here, and here like to take a break and hang out on the old apple tree.
The tree is an odd shape, I know. It's just like the one that was in my backyard when I was growing up. My parents paid us neighborhood kids 5¢ an apple to pick up all the rotten ones. Not a bad deal, for the time!
I didn't want to start a new series this week, as I'll be taking a 2 week blogging break after Friday.

Beautiful Jen!! I love the tree!
How great the story about your dad :o)
What a super blog, great illustrations you have a very appealing style :)
This brings back wonderful childhood memories! Sometimes, it is hard to imagine such a relaxed time in this crazy busy world we live in. THanks for sharing.
Thanks, Alicia! Yes, that tree was a great one for using the imagination.
And thanks so much for your kind comment, Bee. Glad you stopped by!
I know what you mean, Lisa. Ahh, to be a kid again! At least we have our imaginations, no? :-)
wonderful work Jen!!! I love the tree and all the details...great work!!!
I love this one...the shape and size of the tree brings back memories of the neighborhood I grew up in...my childhood home would be around 100 yrs old now. I love those old neighborhoods.
Have a happy break and enjoy summer.
Thanks, Diana!
And thanks, Kate! I know what you mean about those old neighborhoods. Ours was a cul-de-sac with tons of kids... a really wonderful place to grow up.
