Maine Street in Brunswick is wide enough to feel like a field with buildings on either side, and on a July noon the shade under the Mall's trees is the coolest place in town. Yards a few blocks off it take full sun all day and grow accordingly, which is why mowing here is a weekly conversation rather than an occasional favor. Trimming around granite steps, hydrants and old fence lines is where a lawn actually gets finished. The cleanups take care of the rest — winter's litter cleared in April, the long leaf drop handled from October into November. Brunswick and the towns just over the river and down the shore.
