Little Orleans is a hushed bend in eastern Allegany County where Fifteenmile Creek runs into the Potomac and the wooded ridges of Green Ridge State Forest close in on every side. In midsummer the hollows hum with cicadas and birdsong, and any open ground grows fast on rain that drains down off the mountains. Three Little Birds Outdoor Living keeps up lawn care here, cutting and tidying the cleared ground that a landscape this forested gives up only in small, precious pieces. A well-kept yard in Little Orleans becomes a bright square of green set against the dark of the hills, mown even and trimmed close to the tree line. It is work done with pride for a corner of Maryland that rewards anyone willing to slow down.
