Cold air settles into the Manhan valley overnight, and morning comes slow to Southampton — fog off the low ground, the Berkshire foothills catching light first while the yards below wait their turn. That patient hour is where Leclerc & Son Lawn Care starts its day. Through the green months they lay the mower down in even passes across these rural lots, edging the grass clean to the tree line; when winter closes the valley in, they push the drives back to bare pavement before the porch lights go out and the town wakes to shoveled ground. There is a quiet reward in a lawn that holds its line all the way to the woods, and in a cleared driveway breathing steam in the cold. Between the farm roads and the wooded hills, this is a place tended one season into the next.
