October arrives here on a dust cloud — combines working the bean ground, grain trucks nosing out onto the blacktop, the light gone long and gold by four o'clock. Healthy Homes Inspection Services keeps the lawns of Santa Anna Township looking cared for straight through it, mowing while the grass still pushes and raking once the maples let go. Frost sets into the low corners first, and a yard cut short and cleared takes it well. The satisfaction is small and specific: a hedge line trimmed back, a drive swept, nothing left to wash into the ditch. When spring loosens the ground again, the same yards get the first cleanup of the year and start over green.
