Down the Nobleboro side of Pemaquid Pond the mornings open with mist on the water and the sound of Route 1 a long way off through the trees. B & B Tree Services mows and trims the yards along those shore roads and back lanes, and clears them out in spring and again once the leaves have finished falling. The ground here is rooty and uneven, so a lawn that comes out looking flat has been worked at, not simply run over. Cut close around the stone, edged along the drive, swept off the walk, that is the whole ambition, and it is enough. Coming back the next week to a yard still holding its shape is the good part.
