One of my favorite walks originates or ends at the Scott Farm in Dummerston, Vermont. It is in some ways a historic lesson as you are led along old apple orchards, gravel roads and rambling stone walls. In fact, Cider House Rules was filmed at the Scott Farm many years ago. The old buildings and barns from the working farm have such character as they have settled into the landscape over time and cast a history in the shadows.
Often I walk past this single apple tree which dominates the curve in the road. Production-wise it is probably a mini-orchard in of itself.
At this time of year, the rich greens which dominate the landscape are most appealing to me. I even like the sweep of gray from the gravel road as it disappears into the horizon.
