Lake Sedgewick turns the color of pewter in late October, and the geese come down loud in the mornings. Dobson Landscaping, Inc reads that as the pivot: last cuts, leaves off the turf, beds cleared, plow trucks pulled forward in the yard. Winter here is mostly not spectacular — it is a Tuesday with two inches on it, and the crew is out at four so the day can happen normally. Come April the mowers go back on and the whole cycle restarts with the smell of cut grass. Both halves of the year are the same promise, kept in different weather.
