Come October the town hangs scarecrows along Main Street and the lights of the Hotel Baker double themselves in the river below. St. Charles Lawn Care carries the name of the place, and the work goes wherever the name does — mowing on a weekly turn, trimming the edges a mower always leaves behind, cutting clean borders along drives and walks. Fall cleanups pull the leaves off before the frost pins them down; spring cleanups open the yard back up. A town that decorates for autumn tends to notice a lawn that has been looked after. That noticing is the whole job.
