Walt says it has never once started on the first try, and that if it ever does he will sell the place that afternoon. He says this the way other people talk about the weather. His hands are on the wheel, the radio is on WAMC, and a crate of Macouns is sliding around the trailer behind us.<\/p><\/div> <div class=\"shapeblock-block shapeblock-heading-block-wrap shapeblock-heading-dc02l wp-block-shapeblock-heading\"> <div class=\"shapeblock-heading\"> <div class=\"shapeblock-title\">The orchard runs down the slope toward the river in long, slightly crooked rows. His great-grandmother planted the oldest ones, Northern Spies that still bear in good years and sulk in bad ones. The newer rows are Honeycrisp, planted in 2009 because the people driving up from the city kept asking for it. \u201cFine apple,\u201d Walt says. \u201cTastes like a vending machine.\u201d<\/div>\t<\/div> <\/div> <div class=\"shapeblock-block shapeblock-heading-block-wrap shapeblock-heading-dc02m wp-block-shapeblock-heading\"> <div class=\"shapeblock-heading\"> <div class=\"shapeblock-title\">His daughter, Ellen, is a nurse in Albany and good at it. His nephew tried one season in 2017 and moved to Denver. There have been offers: a developer from Westchester, twice, and a couple from Brooklyn who wanted to make cider and, as far as Walt could tell, a podcast. He turned them all down, and none of them were rude about it.<\/div>\t<\/div> <\/div> <div class=\"shapeblock-block shapeblock-heading-block-wrap shapeblock-heading-dc02n wp-block-shapeblock-heading\"> <div class=\"shapeblock-heading align-center\"> <div class=\"shapeblock-title\">*&nbsp;&nbsp;*&nbsp;&nbsp;*<\/div>\t<\/div> <\/div> <div class=\"shapeblock-block shapeblock-dc shapeblock-dc-dc02o wp-block-shapeblock-drop-caps\" data-cap=\"plain\" data-rule=\"0\" data-multicol=\"0\"><p class=\"shapeblock-dc__text\">Saturday is the busy day. By nine the field by the barn is full of cars, half of them with Connecticut plates, and the line at the donut window reaches the scale. Walt sits on an upturned crate by the gate and takes the $24 for a half-bushel bag in cash, mostly. He knows the regulars by their cars.<\/p><\/div> <div class=\"shapeblock-block shapeblock-heading-block-wrap shapeblock-heading-dc02p wp-block-shapeblock-heading\"> <div class=\"shapeblock-heading\"> <div class=\"shapeblock-title\">At four he closes the gate with a length of baling twine.

So of course we did, my brother and I, the October I turned sixteen and he was eighteen and leaving for the Navy in a week. We took the Ford with one headlight and a thermos of cocoa that was mostly sugar. The road went up past the Vandermark place, where the barn had already started to lean, and then it went into the trees, and the trees closed over us like a lid. Neither of us said anything for a mile. Then Tom laughed, the way he did when he was frightened, and turned the radio up. There was nothing on it but a man reading the farm prices from Albany, eggs and feed corn and hogs, very slowly, as if he had all night. We listened to every word.<\/p><\/div> <div class=\"shapeblock-block shapeblock-heading-block-wrap shapeblock-heading-dc03l wp-block-shapeblock-heading\"> <div class=\"shapeblock-heading\"> <div class=\"shapeblock-title\">When we came out the other side the stars were so bright I could see the frost on the fence posts, and Tom pulled over and we sat there with the engine running, not talking, drinking the terrible cocoa.
