Evening light on Sumner Street stretches long enough in late August to fit one more lawn in before dark, and that last cut of the day is often the sharpest one. Mowing, edging, trimming and seasonal cleanups keep Norwood properties on an even keel right through the growing season. The care shows up in small things — a clean line where grass meets driveway, no clippings on the sidewalk, corners squared off. When storms come, the work turns to plowing driveways and shoveling the walk and the stairs, with salt down so the ice does not win the morning. Long days in summer, early ones in winter: that is the shape of the year.
