Out here west of Bloomington the land lies open all the way to the sky, and weather arrives with plenty of warning. Freitag Seasonal Services works both halves of that year in Danvers: the plow blade down before first light finds the grain elevator, and the mower out once the ditches go green and the corn is knee-high. There's a particular satisfaction in a driveway opened to bare pavement while the rest of the road is still white, and in a lawn cut straight as a section line. Snow gets pushed back and walks get cleared; grass gets mowed, trimmed and tidied on a schedule that holds. Danvers is a small place, and the difference between a good morning and a hard one is often just whether somebody came through early.
