COMES THE FALL

Hesterville, 1973

In late September, when apples were at their peak of flavor and the smell of fall was in the air, Mama Dixon suggested she and Rachel pay a visit to the Penny Lane Orchard. It was said that Penny Lane had the sweetest apples in the state of Georgia, and during picking season people drove for miles to line up at the door and buy a bushel basket. The orchard was a two-hour drive away, but considering how fond George was of his mama’s apple turnovers, Rachel agreed.

“It’ll take us a while to get there,” she said, “so maybe you should sleep over tonight so we can get an early start in the morning.”

“I sleep better in my own bed,” Mama Dixon replied. “And besides, I need to copy down my turnover recipe for you. When we get back, I’ll teach you the secret to a crispy crust.”

A short while later, she left. Before getting into her car and driving off, Mama Dixon said she’d pick Rachel up by nine so they’d be back in time to bake the turnovers.
