By October the cotton around Pima goes white right up to the fence lines, and the farm roads carry a fine dust that settles on porches, fenders and lawns alike. GWR Landscapes moves through the valley yards in that season — mowing, edging the drive, trimming the fence rows, and clearing away what harvest leaves scattered behind. The Pinaleños stand blue over the whole scene, and the afternoon light has the thin autumn clarity you only get at this elevation. A yard cut and cleared while the fields are working is a particular kind of order, held steady through a busy month. Come November the pace eases, the cuts stretch further apart, and the valley goes quiet again.
