The pecan trees around Social Circle turn loose in November, and the first hard frost silvers the fescue before sunup. Morris One works that season — leaf removal, final cuts, edging, and clearing the beds down for winter. Cold mornings here are short-lived; by noon Walton County is mild again and the work goes easier. A yard swept clean before Thanksgiving stays that way a good while, and there is quiet pride in handing it over like that. Winter is for the details nobody notices until they are done.
