October eases into Screven slowly — river fog lying in the Altamaha bottoms at daybreak, live oaks holding their moss, the light going long and gold by four o'clock. Mr. T's Landscaping, Inc works into that softer season, mowing while there is still growth left in the grass and then turning to leaves, needles and the general fall tidy-up. Edges get redrawn, beds get cleared back to their proper shape, walks get blown down to bare concrete. A yard kept up through the cool months starts the next spring already ahead of itself. Around Wayne County that steadiness is the whole point of the work.
