In March the herring push up the Herring River through Bells Neck, and Harwich shakes off winter about a week later than it intends to. Luke's Tree service works both ends of that turn — plowing, shoveling and sanding while the cold still holds, then straight into spring cleanup, mowing, trimming and edging once the ground gives. There is something honest about a yard raked out properly in April; everything after it goes easier. Through summer the cut stays on schedule, and in autumn the leaves come off before they mat down. Snow and grass, the same roads, the same door at the end of the driveway.
