Late September in Bruce Township turns everything the color the name suggests: low sun across the fields toward Stony Creek, long shadows thrown off the fence lines, cider weather on the way. MJ Golden Landscape is out in that light finishing yards — mowing, string trimming, edging along the walks, then leaf cleanup as the maples let go. Through summer the work is weekly and unremarkable in the good way: an even cut, no clippings on the drive, a border a person can actually see. Half a lawn out here sits on a grade, and it gets the same attention as the flat half. There is one hour at the end of a day when a freshly cut yard looks lit from underneath, and that is the hour to work toward.
