March in Middleton refuses to commit to anything: the Ipswich River running high and brown one week, six inches of heavy wet snow the next. Rony's Landscaping, Inc. covers the width of town in those weeks, North Reading line to Topsfield line, plow still hung on the truck while the spring cleanup list is already filling up. Cold-weather work is plowing, shoveling walkways and salting the shady side of a driveway; green-weather work is mowing, trimming and hauling out everything the winter tore loose. There is one day every year when the last gray pile of plowed snow finally gives up and the grass beneath it comes out pale and flattened and ready. Bringing a yard back from that is one of the better feelings in this line of work.
