Franklin is hayfields and stone walls and hilltops that hand you half the county on a clear July morning, with Susquetonscut Brook running low in the trees below. Lawn & Order works that open country — mowing on a set week, trimming along the old walls and fence posts, edging where lawn meets gravel drive. Spring begins with a cleanup that clears winter's scatter off the grass; autumn ends with the leaves gathered before the first hard frost arrives. Out here, a mown lawn against a hayfield is a line worth drawing carefully. In a town this quiet, ground kept well is easy to appreciate.
