In October the low fields around Still River keep their fog until the sun gets over the ridge, and then Harvard turns loud with color — maples leaning over Route 110, the last apples going by on the back of a truck. K & M Lawn Maintenance Service works the far end of that season, mowing while the grass still wants cutting, then trimming, edging and clearing leaves off lawns that catch everything the wind brings down. A property here can be half woods, and the leaves keep arriving for weeks, so the work is patient by its nature. The best part is the last pass of the year: a lawn left tidy, borders cut clean, a yard put to bed before the ground goes hard. Come April the same lawns get opened back up, and the whole rhythm starts over.
