White County puts on a long autumn — sourwood turning early, maples following it, whole ridgelines going over at once above the valley. It also hands the yards below more leaves than they know what to do with, and The Glassblowing Shop takes care of the answer: raking, leaf removal, mowing and trimming through the season, edging the walks and clearing the drives. Summer this far up the map is short, green and generous, so the cutting rounds stay tight while the light holds. Then the ridges let go and cleanup becomes the whole day. Yards in and around Helen, tended from the first flush of spring to the last load of leaves.
