October is the honest month for this kind of work in South Thomaston: the bugs are gone, the leaves are down, and you can finally see what a piece of land is shaped like. Walsh Brush Cutting spends it knocking back saplings, clearing overgrown corners, and mowing rough ground back to a height a person can walk through. The village down at the Keag sits low by the water and the woods press in fast on the roads above it, so field edges need reclaiming every few seasons. A stone wall that has not seen daylight in a decade turning up under the brush is the part worth showing up for. By the time the ground freezes, the ragged ends of a property look intentional again.
