There is a week every November when the wind comes down off the ridge and Wallingford's oaks give up all at once — Community Lake goes copper at the edges and every lawn in Yalesville disappears. Paddy's Lawn and Leaf is built for exactly that week and the thirty that surround it. Mowing right through the growing months, then leaf removal and fall clearing when yards need emptying more than cutting, then a spring pass to open everything back up. The pleasure is in the before-and-after: an ankle-deep drift at breakfast, bare clean turf and crisp bed lines by dark. Wallingford lawns, tended in the order the year asks for them.
