October comes to the Grassi bogs in low red and gold, and the light lies long across Marion for weeks before the first hard frost. New Beginnings Landscape follows the year through that turn: mowing, trimming and edging while there is still growth, then leaf cleanups, then plows and shovels once the drives need clearing. A yard put to bed well in November is easier to wake in April, and a driveway opened at four in the morning is its own small kindness. It is the same properties either way, watched all the way around the calendar.
